Be The Change: Be Kind: Rise Up And Make A Difference To The World

A fun and empowering interactive mental health guide for 8-12-year-olds on the power of kindness by award-winning author Marcus Sedgwick

You can choose to make the world a better place. The power is within you!
 
Every one of us experiences the world differently – we have different worries and problems, and we all have unique hopes and dreams – but there’s one thing that can unite us and make the world a better place, and that’s KINDNESS!
 
Kindness is cool! No, really! Kindness can create positive change in all our lives. Whether it’s being a friend to someone who seems lonely, or simply smiling or giving somebody a thumbs up. When we support each other, we can be our best selves.
 
Be the Change: Be Kind is your handbook on how to use your own voice to empower yourself and others to spread kindness. Award-winning children’s author Marcus Sedgwick tells the story of kindness – where it comes from, what it feels like and perhaps most importantly why it matters – and asks YOU what would you do in different everyday scenarios.
