Exercises in Kindness (for Young Readers) (Paperback)

What can we do or say to show kindness to others? This short book shares some ways that we can do that, such as the following:

JOE FINISHES HIS BREAKFAST.

“Mom, you’re a really good cook.”

“Thank you, Joe. That’s a very nice thing to say.”

“Thank you for making us breakfast every day.”
