Kindness Books 🤗

In a world that is constantly changing; some things are forever. Kindness for instance is timeless! Instilling the value of kindness in your child is important, if you want to make sure they grow up to be decent human beings. Sure, it takes courage to be kind in a world that mistakes it for weakness. However, if you are a parent that believes in the virtue of kindness and sees value in teaching it to your child; there are many ways you can show your child how to be kind to themselves and others. 

Books for instance, are a handy tool you can use to help your child gain fresh perspective. You can use books to teach your child values like kindness through examples, narratives, images, and stories of kindness. Simple stories about sharing their toys, or taking care of their baby brother. Here are some of the B2D team’s favourites; the best books to teach kindness to your kids. Each of these kindness books for kids tells a story of compassion, friendship and kindness in its own unique way.
