"Kindness is an open door to welcome others through" Michelle Schaub, Kindness is a Kite String
Kindness is a Kite String...The Uplifting Power of Empathy written by Michelle Schaub and illustrated by Claire LaForte is a beautiful book to help teach children about the power of kindness.
This poetic book is full of literacy and language opportunities. Kindness is a Kite String can help teach children about the power of being kind to others on a daily basis. Sometimes we discuss kindness being this grand gesture but it can be as simple as holding the door open for someone or giving a friend a hug. Kindness can also be about taking care of our earth and living creatures.
When reading this book to your child, stop and pause on each page and discuss the various actions in the book. Take it a step further and discuss why that particular action is kind. In the back of the book is a short guide for parents and teachers about similes and metaphors, which are immersed into the book. I love this book because it can serve as a valuable reminder of the simple act of kindness. With the hecticness of each day and the stress of the pandemic, it can be often difficult to be mindful and reflect on how we can be kind to others. It's such an important gesture and helps build empathy, which we all need!
