Kids' Random Acts of Kindness: (Affirmations, Book for Kids, Kindness Kids, for Fans of Chicken Soup for the Soul)

By Conari Press

Book Overview

Want to Feel Hopeful About the Future?

Share in inspirational stories of generosity written by children of all ages that reveal their surprisingly insightful feelings about kindness and compassion.

Look back at why the Random Acts of Kindness series was such a sensation. When the adult version of Random Acts of Kindness was first published, hundreds of teachers across the country gave assignments to their students to write about unsolicited acts that they had experienced or initiated. Teachers sent the results to Conari Press which then put out a call for similar stories in a teacher's magazine. Stories poured in and the result was Kid's Random Acts of Kindness. Whimsical and funny to moving and thoughtful, Kid's Random Acts of Kindness helps restore your belief in the potential for goodness in man.

In Kid's Random Acts of Kindness, you will see how children are the truest examples of open-hearted giving:

Kids are hopeful. They believe they can change, easily and often. They look forward not back. They like to think about what could be, not what was.Kids are possibility addicts. They're always working on something. If you listen you'll hear a language of hopefulness and striving, an elasticity that keeps them going and trying.Kids love to master challenges. They want to try new things, move in new directions, be productive. They are risk takers, sometimes out of faith, sometimes out of desperation. More than anything else, children want and need to belong, to partner, to collaborate.

Readers of other books in the Random Acts of Kindness series and motivational books and stories like Chicken Soup for the Soul: Random Acts of Kindness, A Pebble for Your Thoughts, I've Been Thinking..., and You Can Do All Things will love the encouraging, inspirational stories in Kid's Random Acts of Kindness.

Great!

Great way to show kids that other kids just like them have done acts of kindness and they don't have to be huge to count. My kids loved hearing about what other kids did and found the stories inspirational. Even made some of them want to do their own acts of kindness!!!

Cute...

I like the book in general, though it wasn't exactly what I had expected it to be. Some of the stories in the book were really great and some of them were kind of flat, and I'm not exactly sure how they relate to the theme of the book "Random Acts of Kindness". All in all, it's a great read for positive and uplifting short reading.
