Delta PAIR: Integrity

In the quiet corners of the school library and the dusty edges of the playground, twins Marcus and Maya Johnson discover their most challenging superpower yet: Integrity. The story follows the twins as they navigate the "inner compass" of their hearts. The first test arrives when they witness a close friend hide a library book in his backpack without checking it out. They are caught between the fear of being a "tattletale" and the knowledge that honesty matters. Later, the stakes grow higher when Marcus finds a teacher’s lost wallet stuffed with eighty dollars—the exact amount he needs for a video game he’s been dreaming of. With no one watching, Marcus must decide if a shortcut to his prize is worth losing the trust he has in himself.

The Delta Kids PAIR Series teaches young readers the four essential character traits of Perseverance, Adaptability, Integrity, and Respect through fun, relatable stories set in the heart of the Arkansas Delta.
