This is a lovely little gem of a book. I loved the style, layout and graphics. We could all do with a prompt of being kinder from time to time.

Really loved the quotes and descriptions and the week by week 'do and learn'. Very easy to follow and to incorporate into your day.

Thank y0u Quarto Publishing and NetGalley.

Be Kind by Jaclyn Lindsey and Melissa Burmester is a book that guides the reader through fifty-two weeks of kindness. This colorful and happy book is set up by week with three straightforward sections: learn, reflect, do. Each section has its own page in the book with quotes, information, and tasks for the reader. Readers will embark on a wonderful yearlong journey of kindness and love using this book.

This is a nice little book on kindness with a variety of messages, longer stories and question and answers from famous people. If I'm honest it is probably not the best book on kindness I've read and I wouldn't rush out to buy it. But it is giving out the message of kindness and if it encourages just one person to do something kind then it is a huge success. There are probably just a lot of books like this out there, but having said that there is definitely always room for one more. I liked the pretty pastel format.

This book is literally lovely. The color pallet and art style is gorgeous and calming. It makes a great base for what the book is about.
The book is broken down into weeks with three components included in each. There is a section called "Learn" and readers learn new facts about kindness. "Reflect" is a section includes things like interviews and quotes for the reader to think about. Lastly, there is "do." This gives the reader an activity to promote kindness in their everyday life.
I love this book and it can be a great help for anyone looking at bettering themselves. Why not start with kindness?

This is a cute little book. I think I would be more likely to check something like this out from the library than to buy it. I think there are some great ideas in here for someone who truly doesn't know where to start with acts of kindness. I love that there are things for kindness to one's self (like going out on a solo date to the movies or a museum. Beyond the book content, I absolutely love the beautiful pastel pages starting with the gorgeous cover.
