I found this book absolutely charming. In fact, I teared up on several occasions while reading it. The book is filled with little stories about kindness. The first story tells of a storyteller (the author) and how he decides to write a book for his small son, but how frustrated he was with the process until he realized “you should only write about what matters most”, and in this case, of course, he must write about kindness.
One story is about kindness personified as a member of the family who goes missing one day and the sadness that ensues. Another is about who is kindest of them all, and makes the case for a little star to be the kindest. One of my favourites is about the “kindwings” that “fly around town whispering kind words to everyone”.
A beautiful book to treasure in any classroom.
