Reviews

[Janna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Except for the religious mentions, a great book.

[Derrica Chambers · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a great book. Especially for those who are spiritual. When kindness is spread there is no way you can go wrong.

[Suzanne Lorraine Kunz Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Christ said that loving God and loving others were the first two commandments. This book is all about loving others and being kind. This book points out so many different ways to be kind and so many different situations to be kind in.

** Talking Points: If our every thought was to be kind how would our lives be different? How would our happiness increase? Who do you find it easiest to be kind to? Who do you find it hardest to be kind to? When do you find it hardest to be kind? Does being hangry affect your kindness level? Does having a lack of sleep affect your kindness level? Is there someone that you don't want to be kind to? Tell me about it. Who are some of the kindest people in your circles? What are some kindnesses that have been done to you that you will never forget.

** Essential Oil Pairing Tip: I think doTERRA's Forgive essential oil blend is the perfect blend to diffuse when reading this book. If you don't have that, a great 2nd choice would be Geranium (The Oil of Love and Trust). Kindness builds love and trust.

We've had this book about two years, and we read it a couple of times as a preschooler. I pulled it out again recently because our daughter (now a Kindergartener) was having a bad day. I liked the reflective nature ... but I didn't realize how much it was written for the adults in the audience until she started asking lots of questions about what this meant or that meant

This is one of a set of rhythmically versed, character building board books I try to read often to my young children.
