"Eight-year-old Daniel loves helping his Great-Uncle Lewis, a chocolatier, and he secretly gifts chocolates to classmates who need cheering up. When Uncle Lewis goes away, Daniel's loneliness is obvious--and it turns out his "secret" gift-giving has been obvious too. His classmates respond with a bounty of small gifts to lift his spirits. Includes an author's note about empathy and acts of kindness."--
