When Tanisha spills purple grape juice all over her favourite dress everybody in the school cafeteria laughs at her.
As she runs from the room in tears one lone girl wants to help but she just doesn’t know how. Later Tanisha returns to class wearing her art smock and the girl thinks about what she should have done. Could she have shared a napkin so Tanisha could dry herself? Should she have let her borrow her jumper? Should she have poured juice over herself as well to deflect the laughter?
As she sits painting a picture she ponders what it means to be kind. Is it giving or helping? Is it listening or sharing? Being kind should be easy, so why is it sometimes so hard?
This beautifully-illustrated book is the perfect conversation starter if you want to discuss kindness with your child. It shows the many ways in which small acts of kindness can change people’s day and maybe even one day change the world.
