What if one simple question could change a child's life?
When little Mathew joined his forever family through adoption from Indonesia, his dad began asking one important question whenever he visited orphanages, schools, hospitals, and children's homes around the world:
"Would this be good enough for my own child?"
That simple question became Mathew's Rule.
Over the next twenty-five years, it inspired work helping children across Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and beyond.
Filled with warmth, compassion, and beautiful watercolor illustrations, this inspiring true story invites young readers to imagine a kinder world where every child deserves healthy food, safe homes, loving care, and the chance to learn and dream.
This special 25th Anniversary Double Edition celebrates a quarter-century of helping children around the world—and reminds every reader that kindness begins with a single question.
