This poetic board book full of metaphor is a how-to on treating others with kindness.
From sunrise to sunset, a young child has opportunities to demonstrate kindness — to their parent, their pet and themself — and to receive kindness as well. Written in metaphor with gentle rhymes and hinging on familiar words, Kindness Is a Golden Heart shows young readers how to use their "golden heart" by guiding them through many ways to be kind. (From Orca Book Publishers)
Kindness Is a Golden Heart is for ages up to 2.
