Description

Is your child growing up in a world that feels rushed, self-focused, or disconnected?

In a time when kindness is more needed than ever, The Kindness Seed offers a gentle and inspiring way to teach kids how small, selfless acts can grow into something beautiful.

In the once-thriving town of Upton, a mysterious gift falls from the sky—a chance for every family to help others and rebuild their community. But when one family refuses to share, it’s only young Anna who sees the gift’s true purpose. With nothing but a few coins and a big heart, Anna sets out to plant acorns across the town—restoring joy, reuniting neighbors, and showing that one act of kindness can grow into a forest of change.

🌱 The Kindness Seed is a heartwarming picture book that gently teaches children:

♥The value of giving over getting

♥How to believe in themselves even when others don’t

♥That their actions—no matter how small—can have a lasting impact

♥To look beyond themselves and care for their community and the world around them

Perfect for parents, grandparents, teachers, and gift-givers who want to raise kind, thoughtful kids with strong character, The Kindness Seed is ideal for ages 4–8 and makes a meaningful gift for:

★Social-emotional learning (SEL)

★Earth Day and Arbor Day

★Character-building storytime

★Classroom discussions about empathy, giving, and nature

💛 A powerful reminder: One acorn can grow a mighty tree. And one child’s kindness can change everything.
