The Book Of Kindness

The Little Book of Kindness will teach you how to be kind to yourself, to strangers, to those you love, to the world - every day, at every opportunity. Prompted by the seeming hopelessness of the world around her, Bernadette Russell undertook a pledge to be kind to a stranger every day for a year. The experience left her wanting to inspire others. The Little Book of Kindness is packed with fun ideas, practical tips and interactive exercises that encourage you to 'be kind' in every area of life - online, to strangers, to the environment, in your community, to yourself - and change the world, one act of kindness at a time.

This beautiful children’s verse book is about kindness – what it is, how to express it, and the positive impact that it can have on individuals and around the world. Written as a three-stanza poem, About Kindness employs rhythms, rhymes, and repetition to teach young children different mindful ways of expressing kindness in their everyday lives: through meeting people’s needs in the first stanza; through empathy and understanding in the second stanza; and through care and concern for their community and planet in the third stanza. The illustrations show that acts of kindness can inspire more kindness, happiness, and togetherness in diversity. To add fun to the messages in the book, readers may engage in a special hunt of “Find the Heart” throughout the book. The language and illustrations are straightforward and easily understood, making About Kindness a perfect introduction for all children about the many ways to make a positive difference with what they say and do. This book supports emotional intelligence, and diversity, and helps to equip children with a social and emotional toolbox that will carry them through childhood into adulthood.

Here is a book that had to be written and needs to be read, one that sheds light of the meaning of kindness and how it can radically change out lives and livesof every one around us. Dozens of stories illustrate the many aspects of kindness: empathy, compassion, generosity, gratitude, forgiveness, and its tremendous healing power.
