It’s Friendliness Week at school, and the Jones kids are on a mission to practice kindness in every corner of their day. From the introduction of a brand-new Friendship Bench, to Addison bravely inviting the shy new girl Maya to sit with her, to Ava Grace’s gentle gift of a sunflower sticker, each child learns that even the smallest “hello” can open a big door. But as friendships shift and invisible fences appear, the Jones family begins to see that real friendliness requires more than a smile—it takes courage.

When a silly misunderstanding on the playground turns into a full-blown rumor, the Jones kids learn just how quickly gossip can spread—and how much it can hurt. Addison finds herself at the center of a wild story about mice, fainting, and the teacher’s lounge, all thanks to Ana’s exaggerated retelling. As whispers grow louder, Dad steps in with a powerful lesson: words can build up or tear down, but once spoken, they can’t be taken back. Through honesty, forgiveness, and a chapel object lesson involving toothpaste, the Jones family discovers that the antidote to gossip is truth spoken with kindness.

In this heartwarming adventure, the Jones kids discover that kindness can turn an ordinary school day into something extraordinary. From standing up for a shy new classmate with a dinosaur lunchbox to launching their very own “Secret Kindness Club,” Allison, Addison, Ana, and Ava Grace find creative ways to spread encouragement around the playground and classroom.

But when glitter pens explode at home and tempers flare, the sisters learn an important truth: kindness isn’t just for the playground or public—it starts with family. Through laughter, mishaps, and Mom and Dad’s gentle guidance, the Jones children discover that being kind to those closest to us is the greatest mission of all.

Grandpa shares the story of the Jones family’s first day of a brand-new school year. Between Addison’s fashion choices, Ana’s whirlwind energy, Allison’s bossy leadership, and Andy’s flair for attention, the Jones house is buzzing with chaos and laughter. But little Ava Grace faces a much bigger challenge — the fear of something new. With a gentle reminder from Scripture and the courage to reach out, she discovers the blessing of friendship and learns that God is with us in every new beginning.

A heartwarming tale of faith, courage, and family fun that reminds children (and grown-ups) to trust God when facing the unknown.
