    Everyone Has a Story

    Everyone Has a Story follows young Milo Monkey through a heartwarming day in the jungle, as he discovers the hidden power of kindness. Inspired by real-life customer experience training, the story began as a simple concept: the average person crosses paths with around 750,000 people in their lifetime, each with a unique story. A friendly smile or act of kindness could be the highlight of someone’s day-a reminder that they matter. Originally, Ryan Vet created a video for his work teams called Put People First, which encouraged employees to treat each person as valuable, with kindness and empathy.

    Seeking to pass this lesson on to his two young sons, Ryan transformed the concept into a children’s book. Everyone Has a Story brings this powerful message to life as Milo, on his way to school, waves at Perry Parrot, not knowing his friend is secretly sad. At recess, he invites Henry Hippo, the new kid, to join a game, easing his loneliness. Each chapter captures a moment when Milo’s small acts of kindness lift the spirits of his friends, showing that everyone carries their own unseen joys and struggles.The story reaches its heartfelt conclusion with Milo’s grandmother, Grandma Toucan, who gives him an agate stone-a plain exterior with beauty hidden inside, symbolizing the unseen depths in everyone. Grandma’s words remind Milo (and young readers) that kindness is a gift that brightens the lives of others, even when their stories remain untold.This book, the first in the Jungle Gems series, encourages children to see the value in every person they meet, teaching them that empathy and kindness are the hidden gems in life’s journey.
