What are some good books for teaching kindness to kids?

Here are a few great books that teach kindness to kids:

1. "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?" by Carol McCloud
2. "The Kindness Quilt" by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace
3. "Each Kindness" by Jacqueline Woodson
4. "The Invisible Boy" by Trudy Ludwig
5. "Kindness is Cooler, Mrs. Ruler" by Margery Cuyler Would you like more details on any of these?

Yes, can you tell me more about "Each Kindness"?

"Each Kindness" by Jacqueline Woodson tells the story of a girl named Chloe who learns about the impact of kindness through her interactions with a new girl at school, Maya. When Maya is excluded, Chloe realizes too late the importance of being kind. It's a powerful story that teaches empathy and the ripple effect of our actions.

That sounds great! Are there any activities I can do with my kids after reading?

Absolutely! After reading, you can:

1. Discuss the themes of the book and how they relate to real-life situations.
2. Create a kindness jar where kids can write down kind acts they do or witness.
3. Role-play scenarios where they can practice being kind.
4. Start a kindness challenge for a week and track their acts of kindness. These activities can reinforce the lessons from the book!

Thanks! I’ll definitely try those activities.
