SYNOPSIS

After seeing a classmate have an accident and get humiliated in class, the young protagonist wonders what it means to be kind, why it’s a good thing, and how she can exercise kindness. 

A nice daily reminder for every child to be gracious and lend a hand, with plenty of examples from daily activities that children can get inspired by.

PERFECT AGE 4 – 7

THEMES

• Empathy for friends in trouble
• Lending a hand, sticking up for others, comforting friends in need
• Kindness is a universal effort, not just for kids and not just in school…

We love

• Well-chosen examples of kindness and grace from everyday life, accessible to youngest audiences
• No gesture is too small to make someone’s day better or pain more bearable
• Beautiful illustrations

WATCH OUT FOR (Language, Big / Sensitive Topics, Outdated Concepts):

• Being kind includes “sticking up for someone when other kids aren’t kind” and is described as really scary. 
• Your impressionable reader may wonder why kids aren’t kind and why it’s scary… so have some ideas at the ready
