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. One of Chicago Public Library's "Best of the Best Books 2018" Review: Great book! - My 5 year old really likes this book. Her toddler sister is also into it. It’s a very sweet and relatable story. The writing is simple but poignant. It’s given us a solid launching point to talk about being kind to those around us, what happens if someone isn’t nice to us, and all the big feelings that go along with that. Never a better time to teach the power of being kind. Review: Wonderful message about kindness - In Be Kind, Pat Zietlow Miller addresses an extremely important aspect of the directive “be kind”— the fact that sometimes it can be hard to be kind. Sometimes you want to help someone who is sad or in need and you just can’t figure out what to do. Sometimes you try to be kind, and it doesn’t help the recipient the way you thought it would. Sometimes it’s just really, really hard to be kind. As adults, we so often try to teach children to “be kind” without remembering to teach them what to do when being kind is tricky, frustrating, or disappointing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Through minimal text by Miller and beautiful illustrations from Jen Hill, readers connect with the main character and feel empathy for her friend Tanisha. We feel the sadness and disappointment that comes with not knowing how to help a friend. We feel the fear when facing a bully and the irritation that little siblings can cause. We also gain an understanding of our kind acts, even ones that seem so small and everyday that we forget they’re kind, and the effect they have on others. We see a chain reaction travel through a community and around the world. And we see the effect, right where it was needed, with Tanisha. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My 3- and 5-year-old daughters absolutely love this book. In fact, they ask for the “umbrella book” and the “grape juice story” almost daily. I have recommended this to anyone who will listen… and no one has been disappointed yet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This book could be very effective for ages 3 and up. Be sure to use it as a time to talk with your children about “what does it mean to be kind anyway?” ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #713,393 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #18 in Children's Values Books #99 in Children's Books on Emotions & Feelings (Books) #172 in Children's Friendship Books | ## Images ![Be Kind - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91R47lhQNYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book! *by A***R on November 10, 2025* My 5 year old really likes this book.
