What Does It Mean to Be Kind?

“It s encouraging to see a children s book focused so specifically on the value of kindness, and one that gives so many definitions of what that term can mean. It s also pleasant to experience the kind treatment of animals as part of what it means to be kind. The publisher includes a note in the book about their use of environmentally sustainable materials in production, demonstrating the book s lessons in practice. This is a charming book with a welcome perspective.” –Foreword Reviews”
