Written is rhyme, Acts of Kindness is a fun, engaging read that will easily captivate your little reader. The story begins with Mr. Dale who is eating a meal alone, feeling rather low, when a stranger asks if he can join him. Uplifted by the strangers kind act in giving his time and sharing his company, Mr. Dale goes on to offer his umbrella to a mother and child who are out in the rain. The mother in turn offers to buy a meal for a woman who was rummaging through a garbage can looking for bottles to change for coins. The woman then gives up her coins to buy a bus ticket for a boy whose shoes are full of holes, and so on. Out of each act of kindness blooms another and another, proving that no act of kindness is ever too small to make a very big difference.

Act of Kindness by Melissa Cenatiempo
"A small act of kindness can make a big difference in someone's day."
We often underestimate the effect of kindness, a listening ear, or even just a smile can make a big difference on those who need it.
Acts of Kindness is a heartfelt book for young readers with a wonderful thought that if we could help just one person, and that one person helped someone else, then the cycle of help could go on forever.

The story begins with Mr. Dale, who is eating his meal alone, he's feeling low after his wife's demise, but when a stranger asks to join him, he feels better after talking with him. After that, Mr. Dale offers his umbrella to a mother and child who are out in the rain, and then that mother, in turn, offers to buy a meal for a hungry woman, who was searching through a garbage can looking for bottles to change for coins, and that woman helped another boy, and the cycle of kindness goes on and on.

Illustrations are beautiful in this book and feature characters of all ages from diverse backgrounds that inspire us to be kind and empathetic towards strangers. This picture book has the power to make a change in the thought process of children and encourages them to make this world a beautiful place to live.
Perfect for all ages.

a book to teach children being kind to others!

I like the concept of this book! The author uses simple daily episodes that children can understand to teach the concept of being kind to others. Great job!
