Candance Doerr-Stevens's Reviews > When We Are Kind

This English/Dine bilingual picture book illustrates "kindness" in concrete, emotion-rich examples.

"I am kind when I take my dog for an extra long walk."
"I am kind when I bring food to my Elders."
"I am kind when I only take from the earth what I need."
"I feel grateful when the earth is kind to me."

I am very drawn to the larger message of kindness not only to other people but also to animals, ourselves, and the earth. This kindness fuels thinking beyond our skin boundaries of self to a larger interconnectedness with all living things.

"When we are kind we remember we are all related"
