Respect

Human Kind

by Zanni Louise, Missy Turner (Illustrator)

Respect is valuing another person, which makes them feel cared for and understood. You can respect others, your world and yourself. When we take time to listen and understand, respect grows. Respect brings people together. There are many ways to show respect.

HUMAN-KIND books help you and your kids discuss what matters. Written by Zanni Louise and beautifully illustrated by Missy Turner, the books share anecdotes inspired by real-life kids. The Human-Kind books include resources for parents & teachers, written by child psychologist Dr. Ameika Johnson in the end matter.
