Kind

What do our readers think of Kind? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children enjoy the warm message, the simple ideas for being kind and the colourful mix of illustrations. Some children find it feels more like a collection of advice and pictures than a story with a strong plot.

What does the Pageticker team say about Kind?

Kind turns everyday good manners into something bigger: a bright, generous celebration of sharing, listening, inclusion and helping others feel welcome. With artwork from 38 illustrators, every spread brings a fresh visual surprise, although its message-led format feels more like a conversation starter than a traditional story. A lovely choice for family or classroom reading, especially when you have time to pause and discuss what kindness looks like in real life.
