Ms. Snowden and her class practice sending kind thoughts to the people they love, and they launch a class Kindness Project. There is only one problem: Henry can't think of one kind thing he has done.

Declaring that kindness is stupid, he stomps to the classroom door on the verge of tears, but his classmates save the day by reminding him of the kind things he has done for each of them.

Henry is Kind by Linda Ryden explores themes of kindness and self-reflection, showcasing how even small acts can have a big impact on others.
