Always Do What's Good: A Small History of Virtue (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798993756714)

Always Do What's Good: A Small History of Virtue gathers short, memorable true stories from history and across cultures to show virtue in action-when it's costly, inconvenient, or dangerous. From Lillian Trasher's courageous service in Egypt to Rosa Parks' quiet defiance, from William Wilberforce's long fight against slavery to George Washington Carver's humble brilliance, these accounts help readers see that moral clarity is possible-and that goodness can be lived.

Originally written in 1997 by educator Sandra L. DiNello, this collection is designed for families and classrooms, offering brief vignettes that spark reflection and strengthen the moral imagination. Each chapter highlights timeless virtues-prudence, justice, courage, temperance, faith, hope, and love-through people who chose what was right when it mattered most.

Perfect for read-alouds, character formation, and discussion, Always Do What's Good invites readers of all ages to consider a simple question: What does it look like to do what is good-today?
