This sturdy, interactive board book is designed to help young children explore what it means to be kind and why it matters.
On each spread is a scene in which lively little children demonstrate ordinary acts of kindness, from sharing toys to inviting others to join in their games. Questions are posed too, such as, ‘How could you cheer up someone who is sad?’ and there’s a wheel to turn that reveals different ways to be kind, all eminently doable for little ones.
The final spread shows readers how to make a kindness jar, something they can add to every time they do something kind, and here turning the wheel reveals different potential recipients of kindness, from friends to pets, to the grown ups in the readers’ lives. One of a series, it’s bright to look at, fun to read and full of practical, constructive advice.
A beautifully illustrated little board book exploring kindness. The simple narrative carries an important message – that being kind not only helps others, it makes YOU feel great, too! At the end of the book there is a simple activity to help little ones practice being kind and a fun, interactive wheel to show how they can help others.

I Can Be Kind is part of the I Can Be ... series. The simple narrative in each book carries an important message: we need to listen to our feelings, acknowledge them, and feel safe enough to talk about and share them with others. At the end of each book there is a practical exercise to help little ones deal with the emotion and a fun wheel to express how they feel.
