Catching Kindness

Can one small act of kindness change someone's day? In this grocery store, it just might.

Catching Kindness is a heartwarming picture book that shows how compassion can ripple through everyday moments. When a young shopper feels disappointed and grumpy, an unexpected gesture of kindness sparks a chain reaction--from the bread aisle to the checkout line. And just when kindness is needed most, it circles back in a beautiful and surprising way.
