Being kind isn't always easy, and sometimes it can feel hard to solve other people's problems, no matter how much we want to help.
When Tanisha spills grape juice on her new dress, her friend really wants to make her happy again, but isn't sure how best to do so.
Be Kind celebrates kindness is its many forms. It explores how small acts of kindness can make a big difference to someone else. It shows all the little ways you can be kind - using someone's name, noticing something about them, saying please and thank you, as well as the scarier, more difficult ways of being kind - standing up for someone who is being bullied, or helping someone to learn something new.
The artwork is bright and sweet, with lots going on every page to entertain young readers. It is also full of a diverse range of characters.
The uplifting message of this picture book is that kindness, once started, can spread around the world, making a difference to everyone. It is a story that would work really well in a classroom, nursery or youth group, but we also really enjoyed sharing this at home.
Be Kind is written by Pat Zeitlow Miller and illustrated by Jen Hill
