This is how a little girl learned that a tiny act of kindness can make a world of difference. The young girl struggled with making friends and fitting in. This resulted in her being bullied often. Despite this she continued to be kind to everyone. Even when her feelings were hurt, and she was very sad. She fines a creature with a broken wing and gently helps her to somewhere safe so she can heal. When the tiny creature she helps tries to reward her for her kindness, she graciously refuses. Her amazing heart is recognized and rewarded. When she receives her reward, her first thought is to try and give her brother the same thing. She learns lessons on how to be a good sister. By opening her heart up to being a good friend, she is able to draw new friends to her. The messaging is powerful and tells us that big or small, our actions define us. How others act is on them. How we respond, is on us. Always choose kindness. Tiny Acts of Kindness is a great book for encouraging young children to help others whenever possible. They never know how their actions will affect those around them.
