Dear Difference Maker,

This is such a humbling classic that is  touching hearts everywhere, so grab a cup of jo and ‘take 5’ to watch today’s movie.

Click here to see why this story makes such a big difference …

While it was obviously perfect for teachers, parents and grandparents I had failed to realize that the most amazing value of this story is the emotion it stirs up in us all; it makes us want to be better people and treat each other, not just children, more affirmatively and compassionately.

Once, when I showed the Teddy Stallard movie to an audience of five hundred junior high and high school students, the groans, coos, ooos and ahhs were heart connecting.

I asked for the students insights afterwards, they said that the movie:  1) made them realize that no one can ever really know what goes on in someone else’s house, and 2) in the words of many: “I realized that I really can make a difference.”

I choked back my own tears. I had no idea how deeply and profoundly students of this age would experience this story.

When I’ve shown the movie to adult audiences, it still amazes me at how quickly it softens so many tough exteriors people believe they must project.

This movie is a GREAT way to OPEN your upcoming Event or In-Service.

Thank you for the difference You make!
