About this ebook
We are living through difficult times where children are being bombarded by bullying, name calling, and lack of respect and consideration for others. Let’s Be Kind Again is a fun and meaningful experience for children three to eight years old and their caregivers to explore creative ways to be kind.
Twins, Mario and Maria, thinking about what their mother told them about JFK saying to Americans, “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country,” have an interactive conversation, almost a one-upmanship of who can think of ways to be kind to each other, their parents, and other people they interact with. They explore the many ways they can do that in the different aspects of life, from walking the dog of a sick neighbor to defending a classmate who is being bullied. The last pages are meant to be interactive. The reader is asked to recall the different ways suggested by Mario and Maria to be kind and to also think of other ways they and others can practice kindness. In this way, the reader is given an opportunity to assimilate the concept of what it means to be kind and how it can be practiced. Additionally, besides the acts of kindness being reinforced, communication is encouraged.
