Category: Kindness

Kindness becomes an action in these stories rather than a slogan. Children and animals repair homes, include lonely neighbours, clean shared spaces and help friends who are lost or frightened. Boo needs someone willing to look past his ghostly appearance, while other characters learn to share, listen or make amends. The collection offers concrete situations that families can discuss after the final page.
