How Kindness was Lost and Found

Meer over het boek

Can kindness be lost? During dinner with his family, Sam overhears a server mention that kindness is lost, prompting him to embark on a quest to find it at every lost and found in his small town. His journey raises the question: Is kindness truly lost these days? This story teaches children that kindness resides within everyone and can be cultivated. It emphasizes the significance of treating others as one wishes to be treated, echoing the essence of The Golden Rule. This social-emotional learning (SEL) book encompasses themes of Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision-Making. Through Sam's experiences, children can learn how to recognize kindness in themselves and others. A pivotal moment occurs when Sam asks, "Mom, how can others find kindness in me?" This question serves as a lifelong skill that encourages ongoing reflection and discussion. The narrative unfolds over the days of the week, beginning and ending on a Sunday. In 2022, the author received the Exemplary Character Award and has inspired over 10,000 students nationwide to embrace the Golden Rule. As a compassionate eleven-year-old, she created Sam's character, the storyline, and several illustrations, hoping readers enjoy the story as much as she enjoyed bringing it to life.
