REVIEWS

Thoughtfully illustrated with accessible language and a universal message, Be Kind is a delightful book for children and adults to enjoy. Through the diverse lives of the children in the story, it becomes clear how we can each use our words, actions, skills, talents, and time for the good of others. The simple, but powerful, message that this book delivers is 'in a world where you can be anything, be kind' - something that we can all aspire to.

- Edmond Gubbins, M.Ed, Primary School Teacher

The Living in Harmony Series of books teaches kids to embrace diversity and act kindly toward others. With its central theme that we all have more similarities than differences, this deceptively simple and endearing series is a valuable resource to cultivate compassion in our children.
