About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when they want to introduce the abstract concept of kindness in a concrete, accessible way for a toddler or preschooler. It's perfect for preparing a child for school or playdates, or after witnessing a moment of selfishness or exclusion. Through a series of vibrant, simple vignettes, the book shows children performing various acts of compassion: sharing, helping, including a new friend, and offering comfort. It frames these actions not just as 'nice' but as a form of strength, an empowering message for little ones. The diverse cast of characters and clear, direct text make it an excellent tool for starting conversations about empathy and how our actions affect others.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
There are no sensitive topics. The approach is secular, direct, and universally positive. It presents an idealized, hopeful vision of peer interaction.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a 2 to 4-year-old who is beginning to navigate their first social settings, like preschool, daycare, or playgroups. It is especially useful for a child who struggles with sharing, displays possessiveness over toys, or needs gentle prompting to notice the feelings of their peers.
