Honestly, it's one of my favorite all-time books. The words and illustrations are so intertwined and seamless. It's a wonderful book to show just how a small, kind, gesture, can really impact a person's life.
Mr. Hatch is shown as an ordinary man going about his lonely, mundane life. Very little interaction and devoid of happiness. But once he receives a box of chocolates in the mail from a Secret Admirer, his life suddenly has meaning. SOMEONE thought of HIM? He now has an extra pep in his step and all the neighbors notice. Sadly, his happiness is short lived. I don't want to give the rest away... find out for yourself! You won't regret it but you will most likely shed a tear! Or two. Or buckets full.
You can watch it here if you can't get the book.

Honestly, the book generates thought-provoking discussions and that's all you need. But if you're wanting a tiny bit more, you could check out this product that supports it. But to be honest, the BEST way to support this book? Share it with your class and then reread it again and again! :)
