Paulinda the Paper Clip

About the Book

Meet Paulinda the Paper Clip. She works in an office with her friends. She becomes sadder and sadder as she sees that her friends have work to do, but she does not. Then one hot summer day, the air conditioner in her office just stopped working. That day changed everything for Paulinda, and she learned a very important lesson. Sometimes when you are sad, it just means that it is not your turn – yet. Paulinda did not let her sadness turn her into an unkind person. At the end of the story, Paulinda and her friends were all very happy.
