I think we can all agree that a little more love and compassion in the world is always welcome. And teaching our kids the meaning of love and kindness is a great first step. We are raising the next generation, so let’s raise them to care for one another better than we are now. Today, we were thrilled to check out this new children’s book about compassion, and pair it with some acts of kindness for kids.
