About this listen

Sometimes, the smallest things can spark the greatest change.

In A Pencil Can Change the World, young listeners meet Amir, a boy with a worn pencil and a simple dream—to learn, to teach, and to help others. With just one pencil shared between siblings, Amir begins teaching letters and numbers, inspiring other children to gather and learn together.

What starts as a small act of kindness grows into hope for an entire community, showing how compassion and determination can shape the future.

Part of the Voices of Kindness series, this story helps children see how empathy, sharing, and belief in education can change lives.

Perfect for bedtime or classroom listening, this book encourages young listeners to value learning and trust that small actions can make a big difference.
