Do Nice, Be Kind, Spread Happy: Acts of Kindness for Kids

by Bernadette Russell

Niceness ninjas and happiness heroes, unite! This book is jam packed with awesome activities for spreading joy and kindness throughout the land, with an extra helping of magic and mischief. Are you sneaky enough to pull off a reverse robbery, by sliding a treat into someones bag or pocket? Have you got the guts to undertake a serious smile collection mission, and smile at every stranger you see all day long? Or perhaps you could brighten up a friends day with a Happy Un-birthday card... after all, the Queen of England gets two birthdays, so why shouldn't anyone else?

Evidence shows that kids (and adults!) who act kindly are happier and more popular, proving that it really is nice to be nice. The international Random Acts of Kindness movement is going from strength to strength, including running workshops in schools. Its official, kindness is cool.

This is a nifty book filled with terrific ideas about how to be kind to one another. The suggestions that are provided are creative and easy to put into practice, and are sure to make the person spreading the acts of kindness just as happy as their actions will make others. The book is colorful and will make readers smile.

A fun guide for children looking to add a bit of kindness to the world. Each page features a new idea to be a "ninja of niceness." The ideas are pretty basic, but kids will enjoy trying them out.
