Acts Of Kindness: Doing Good Deeds to Help Others A basic definition is doing a good deed for the benefit of another person or animal without expecting to be rewarded. It might be as simple as providing food for someone who would otherwise go hungry, or as complex as wiping graffiti from the side of a building. The idea is to do something for someone else solely to make them feel better about themselves. For kids of all ages, teens, parents, and adults, this book encourages good deeds, good intentions, and community development. Kind deeds can be recorded by you or your child in a dedicated, separate notebook or book. This book has things you can do and things you can learn from it. It makes an excellent addition to a friend's and his or her child's Christmas stocking. You may save it as a keepsake to show your child someday. Adopt a Christ-centered perspective and persistent determination to weather the storm of perpetual change. Use this book to instil principles in your youngster and create lasting memories. There are so many fun things you can do with these ideas! Also, perhaps plan an enjoyable excursion together to reflect on the good things your child has done. Accomplishments, whether your own or your child's, are easy to overlook. It includes over 100 awesome good deeds. GET THIS BOOK NOW!

And she provides practical and experiential suggestions for how each of us can strengthen our kindness muscle so choosing a life of kindness becomes ever easier and more natural. An inspiring, practical guide that can help any reader make a commitment to kindness, A Year of Living Kindly shines a light on how we can create a better, safer, and more just world—and how you can be part of that transformation.

This modern allegory inspires taking joyful steps to end hatred and violence. In the playful style of twelfth-century Japanese picture scrolls, Mayumi Oda's art depicts humans as animals who lose their way when their leaders become confused and drawn to violence. It is up to each individual—the frog who plants a garden, the cat who supports an elderly neighbor—to create a better world through simple acts of kindness. This timeless parable for readers of all ages expands upon the idea that we can all become agents of goodness and beauty. Winner of the 2016 Independent Publishers Gold Medal.
