Small acts of kindness, made concrete

Tanisha’s spilled grape juice prompts a classmate to consider what kindness means in everyday life. The examples range from inviting a new girl to play to standing up for someone being bullied, giving the story a child-sized framework for thinking about how actions affect others. Its central idea is that kindness need not be grand: even a small gesture can help a friend. The book presents kindness as something children can practice in ordinary social moments, not just as an abstract virtue.

Book overview

A New York Times bestseller!

"These days, it seems more important than ever for books to show young people how to act with thoughtfulness, civility, and kindness." --The New York Times Book Review

When Tanisha spills grape juice all over her new dress, her classmate wants to make her feel better, wondering: What does it mean to be kind?

From asking the new girl to play to standing up for someone being bullied, this moving story explores what kindness is, and how any act, big or small, can make a difference--or at least help a friend.

With a gentle text from the award-winning author of Sophie's Squash, Pat Zietlow Miller, and irresistible art from Jen Hill, Be Kind is an unforgettable story about how two simple words can change the world. Perfect for fans of If All the Animals Kissed Goodnight.

One of Chicago Public Library's "Best of the Best Books 2018"
