Teaching Cultural Compassion

World Kindness Day

There's a lot going on in the world right now - and who couldn't use a little more kindness.

World Kindness Day is officially sponsored by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation. Please visit their site for ideas for your home, your classroom, and yourself - and to find community focused on kindness.

One of my favorite organizations to support on a day like today is Kind Cotton. They're one of my favorite companies because they donate books for every item purchased! There are great shirts, stickers, bags, etc that have good messages - and the sweatshirts are the softest I've ever owned!

Below are books I recommend (some board books and some picture books) to help kids in your life - and you - get good ideas about what kindness is and how to start.  I hope that you buy some for your household or at least check them out from your local library, not just today, but any day.

I hope you find a little kindness today and that you can make a positive habit of it. Kindness is the one contagious thing I hope we all catch!
