Five Books of Kindness

It's mental health awareness week and this year's theme is kindness, so I wanted to share five picture books which celebrate being kind to others. 


I'm Sorry is the story of two close friends who have a falling out. Sometimes being kind means learning to say you're sorry, and recognising when you have heard a friends' feelings.

Marmaduke hates being different, but when his differences help him to save Princess Meg, he learns just how special he is. Meg shows Marmaduke kindness when everyone else has turned him away. 

Something is eating Kipper's toy box! When Kipper discovers a pair of nibbling, nest-building mice are behind the mystery hole, he decides to share his cosy basket with the mice - and their babies!

In Twelve Days of Kindness, new friend Holly and Nabila create twelve rules of kindness to help their football team work together ahead of an important game.

The ABC of Kindness is an adorable board book where 'S' is for sharing and 'U' is for understanding. A perfect story to introduce kindness to the smallest of readers.

We'll be sharing lots of stories this week and remembering that kindness comes in lots of forms. Do you have any favourite picture books about kindness? Please share them in the comments if so - we're always on the lookout for new additions to our collection.
