Let's Be Kind Again

We are living through difficult times where children are being bombarded by bullying, name calling, and lack of respect and consideration for others. Let’s Be Kind Again is a fun and meaningful experience for children three to eight years old and their caregivers to explore creative ways to be kind.

Twins, Mario and Maria, thinking about what their mother told them about JFK saying to Americans, “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country,” have an interactive conversation, almost a one-upmanship of who can think of ways to be kind to each other, their parents, and other people they interact with. They explore the many ways they can do that in the different aspects of life, from walking the dog of a sick neighbor to defending a classmate who is being bullied. The last pages are meant to be interactive. The reader is asked to recall the different ways suggested by Mario and Maria to be kind and to also think of other ways they and others can practice kindness. In this way, the reader is given an opportunity to assimilate the concept of what it means to be kind and how it can be practiced. Additionally, besides the acts of kindness being reinforced, communication is encouraged.  

Leah Marie and Santa

In the times we are living in, we all need to be more aware that we shouldn’t be focusing on differences, but rather on how we are alike. Most children dream of the magical man in the red suit who visits them with gifts during the holidays in December. However, some children may worry that Santa may not know what they’d like because they have difficulty communicating.

In this story, Leah Marie, a little girl with Down syndrome who can’t speak clearly, wonders whether Santa will know what she wants for Christmas. She solves her dilemma by using her own way of communicating and learns that Santa understands all children.

The moments shared in this book come directly from the experiences of Leah Marie, the great-granddaughter of one of the authors. This book is relatable to all families, caretakers and teachers who struggle to help children realize the many ways they can express their thoughts and feelings.

There is a positive message at the end about creative and unique ways to communicate with others. This is a must-read for a wide audience of those who live with and interact with children of all ages and abilities every day.
