Maddi's Fridge

The book delicately touches on poverty and friendship, but I wonder how much thought went into balancing the emotional weight for young readers.

The story opened up a lot of questions about kindness and community. I’m curious if others have used it as a springboard for discussions on compassion.

Seeing the story through Maddi’s eyes makes it so personal and relatable. I’d love to know what sparked the idea to tell it from her point of view.
