“This might be the most beautiful book I’ve ever read. It’s lifted my soul and brought me to tears in all the right ways.”—Jane Green, author of 18 New York Times bestsellers
Named best inspirational book of the year by the Independent Book Publishers Association and chosen as an International Book Awards winner, HumanKind is the heartwarming, feel-good book we all need right now. These inspiring stories will open your heart and rekindle your faith in humanity.
You’ll meet the mentor who changed a child’s life with a single lesson in shoe-tying and see the far-reaching ripple effects of that seemingly small deed. You’ll also meet the six-year-old who launched a global kindness movement; the band of seamstress grandmothers who patch clothes and mend hearts for homeless people; the puppy, given as a gift, that touched the lives of thousands of children; and many other heroes.
There are also practical tips for making a difference with your own words and deeds, and the resource section lists organizations where you can channel your efforts to create your own ripples of kindness.
HumanKind is a great gift to yourself and anyone who’s been a source of kindness in your life. It will leave you grateful for what you have, provide a refuge from the negativity that surrounds us, and remind you of what really matters.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In the current present that we are living in, this book is a needed welcome. Even more so during these scary times. As I was reading these stories, I was both happy and emotional. Some tears may have been left behind but they were happy tears of joy. This book features all kinds of stories. There is the one of people banding together to help purchase a service dog, or the story of one man who came from nothing to become something. He never forgot where he came from and became "secret santa". Before he died, he shared his story in the hopes that others would continue his legacy of "secret santa". Today, there are thousands of "secret santas" all over the world. There is the story of a little boy who required a brain surgery thus leaving the little boy to miss out on Halloween. HIs parents sent invites to family, friends, and neighbors to participate in an early Halloween. Every house on the block was lit up that night. It is stories like the above and more that will have readers believing in the good nature of human kind. For every bad story in the news, there are good ones as well. It can be easy to forget the good ones are the bad ones may get the spotlight. Yet, with the pandemic we are currently facing, we are reading tons of stories of kindness. One small act can make the difference.
