I love books that have diverse characters. This was a fun book to read with my daughter and will definitely become one we give as gifts.

Great message about kindness and beautiful artwork to accompany it. I thought this picture book would be longer before reading it but it is short and sweet for early readers.

The kids and I absolutely loved this book! The pages were slightly off reading via kindle, but was an easy fix and the girls didn't get distracted. Perfect length for little ones. I read this to my daughters who are eight and four and both eagerly approved of this one. I can't wait to add it to our bookshelf! Thank you so much for this opportunity and sharing a bit of kindness with us so we can pass it to others.

Love this new book from Monique Gray Smith - the simple, beautiful, & impactful! Can see using as a pairing for My Heart Fills With Happiness or Be Kind to broaden the message.

What is kindness?

This book goes over all the qualities of kindness that children can partake in, such as helping ones family, sharing with others, and taking only as much from nature as one needs.

And it isn't only the child doing kind things, but others doing kind things for them. Feeling grateful when the earth is kind, feeling loved when their elders are kind, and how good you feel when you are kind to yourself.

Good picture book to read with a child, as you discuss the different acts of kindess found in the book.

But most of all, we need to be kind because we are all related.

Wonderful message for children, and adults as well.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
