In this inspirational, accessible idea book for kids aged 5 and up, 125 suggested actions encourage practicing kindness, cultivating compassion and empathy, and bringing more happiness into daily life.
In a world where people spend more time engaging through screens than in real-life interaction, showing basic human kindness can feel like a lost art. Be Kind offers children aged 5 and up simple, actionable things they can do in their daily lives that help them cultivate kindness toward others and grow into people with the capacity to make the world a kinder place.
In Be Kind, kids learn that kindness is a quality that can be expressed in ways other than merely being "nice". This includes standing up for someone or something, engaging in a community, showing compassion towards other beings, and expressing gratitude.
With joyful illustrations and kid-friendly writing, this idea book serves as a delightful, easy-to-read collection of 125 concrete activities kids and their families can pick and choose from and act out in their daily lives. Whether it's being the first person to say good morning, offering compliments, shovelling an elderly neighbour's driveway, learning to say hello in different languages, or sending a card to someoneโno special occasion required.
On every page, Be Kind empowers kids to make the world a better, kinder place, one action at a time.
