ABOUT THE BOOK
A heartwarming story about the power of kindness which lives in all of us.
Meet Kindness Kathy.....
Kathy never forgot when her teacher once told the class, "Sometimes, to find the kindness inside, we have to dig deep." Now when her classmates forget, it is Kathy that sparks the change.
In this beautifully illustrated children's book, young readers will see the special bond between Kathy and her teacher. By showing compassion to her teacher, Kathy helps create real change in her classroom. This gentle, uplifting, subtly funny, relatable story encourages children to:
*recognize the kindness within themselves even when it feels hard to do
*pause and consider their actions
*practice empathy and inclusion
*build confidence in being a helper and good friend
💛 Ideal for classrooms, bedtime reading, and deeper discussions.
