Henry is Kind

Reviews / Votes

"What did you like about the book? Mindfulness in the classroom is a growing trend, and Henry is Kind is a wonderful way to introduce the concept to lower-grade elementary students. Henry is listening to his teacher and classmates talk about all of the kind acts they have done, and he starts getting frustrated that he can't think of a single nice thing he did. Luckily, his classmates are there to remind him that no small act goes unnoticed, and sometimes even the littlest moments make a big impact. At the end of the book, Ryden included a few pages on Mindfulness and Heartfulness. These pages have a plethora of information and resources for readers to incorporate the practices in their own lives. To whom would you recommend this book? Parents, Public and School libraries" -- Meghann Price, Lynn Vocational Technical Institute, Lynn, MA - Youth Services Book Review, "These delightful, captivating books are full of powerful practical methods for kids - and their parents." -- Rick Hanson, Ph.D., author of Resilient, Hardwiring Happiness, and Buddha's Brain "Henry Is Kind is bright, fun, and engaging, which is wonderful because it means kids will love it.
