The Little Book of Kindness follows Pig and her neighbors and provides good reminders about how kindness can come in small acts. We are reminded to be patient, nurture, and offer a smile to others through adorable illustrations. The message is simple, but the impact can be big. After all, “when you are kind...others are kind too.”

This was very cute and very simple. Little Book of Kindness is a great book for toddlers and young children.

Beautifully illustratrated with a touch of colour and an ocean of love.
"It's easy to be kind. Offer a smile. Say thank you. Lend a helping hand.
You'll see that when you are kind, others are kind too."
Long my this be true.
'A little book about kindness and friendship.
For people of all ages.' - Age Range: 3 - 6 years.

Francesca Pirrone is Italian and a rare talent for drawing and creating simple truths.

"I designed the character of piglet on a hot and boring July afternoon two years ago. I immediately fell in love with him – he was sweet, funny and above all: he seemed kind… I started thinking about kindness; a precious quality that we all possess. It can be practiced anywhere and with anyone, it does not require commitment, study or sacrifice – yet it makes those who practice it and those who receive it feel good. Isn’t that great? Try it for yourself … word of piglet! "

When we share this book with our young toddlers and early school children we will havea smile on our faces. The pages before them will do the rest. We are not setting them up with over ambitious pressure but sharing what it is to be a human child. May these simple words and engaging ilustrations be reflected also in our lives to demonstrate we carry these words in our own hearts.

Cute book! The illustrations are good and to the point. This book has a nice lesson, basically, do unto to others and you would have do unto you. Like the title says, be kind and help others.

It's easy to be kind ... Just say thanks. Give a smile. Offer help. When you are kind, others are too. Kindness is a precious quality that we all possess. It can be practiced anywhere and with anyone, it does not require commitment, study or sacrifice, and it makes those who practice it feel good and those who receive it. Isn't it amazing? A sweet pig, funny and above all, very kind, gives us the keys to being a good person.

The Little Book of Kindness was absolutely precious, and I absolutely loved the illustrations! I read this to my step children and I really appreciated the examples of easy ways to be kind. Teaching kindness and respect for others is our number one priority as a family, and I feel like Francesco Pirrone has created a story that I would gladly buy and share with my children and other parents alike.

This is a cute book about being kind. I really liked the illustrations, our little pig friend is so cute!

A simple primer for being civil and polite – since when did we even need books like this?! A pig and his friend share things, take turns, and look after their lot and their friends, and the simple, pared down text says that's what we all should do, and that's it. It is a lovely, warm book, and the approach it has will make this a lesson easily learnt – it's just disappointing that is has to be stated in the first place that kindness is a good thing.

Little Book of Kindness is a wonderful story with gorgeous illustrations. It has a perfect message of kindness and what can be achieved through being kind. The minimal amount of text and large illustrations help to make it interactive, and it would be easy to discuss the topic and what is happening with child(ren). I feel this would be a really good book for a story time, both at home and in public library/bookstore etc.

This is a very sweet book whose message is on the back of the book-
“ It’s easy to be kind.
Offer a smile.
Say thank you..
Lend a helping hand.
You”lol see when you are kind, others are kind too”
The book has illustrations showing the pig demonstrating each of these principles and how small acts meant a lot to those helped.
We all need reminders of the proverb “ do unto others” and this book is a sweet and gentle illustration that you and your child can enjoy.
Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

As expected, a sweet children's book about kindness. Gorgeous illustrations and minimal text. Because of the minimal words on each page, parents and children are drawn into conversation about what’s shown in each picture, making this book interactive. It can sometimes be difficult to keep my 4 year old son’s attention while I read to him and he tends to like silly books, so this wasn’t a fit for him. However, I’d recommend this book to parents with 3-4 year olds, especially children who listen to stories attentively.

Thank you to NetGalley and Clavis Publishing for providing a copy of this ARC.

"Little Book of Kindness" is a sweet book about a piglet who completes acts of kindness as he goes about his day and makes the world better one little step at a time.

The book sends a lovely message, the illustrations are adorable and the sparse text is typeset in a very nice font, which is not to be underestimated in children's books.

An adorable, simple book about kindness. I loved the minimalistic illustrations and the simple story line. My two year old enjoyed this one!

Very cute and simple book with great illustrations and a beautiful message. Started a meaningful conversation with my two year old about kindness, not only to humans, but to the earth.

This picture book is beautifully and minimally drawn. I appreciate the simple use of color to highlight just a few objects on the page. I read this with my son and he participated along with each page.

This book has few words but what it lacks in length it makes up for in illustrations. The artwork captures a range of emotions that show how small acts of kindness can make a huge difference. This title is perfect for young readers who need a few simple ideas for making the world a better place.

Little Book of Kindness by Francesco Pirrone is a lovely little book with simple but beautiful illustrations. How to teach empathy has been on my mind lately after a conversation with a psychologist about teaching empathy in med school and how the Danish teach it to children in school as they grow up. This book will be such a good addition to our little library as it shows easy ways that anybody can show kindness and compassion to the world and the people around them. I only wish that it was longer!

My 5 year old and I enjoyed this book very much. He liked it so much that he requested that I’d read it again right away. The illustrations are cute and go very well with the story and the message is easy and simple to understand. Be kind to others and other will be kind to you. We will read this book again and again!

This is a sweet little book that shows simple ways that we can all show kindness. The illustrations are simple yet adorable, and the minimal text offers just enough narrative to highlight the pictures.

I'd recommend this to readers looking for uncomplicated books about kindness.

Cute book about a little pig.
He goes around the town.
And discover he can help others in distress.
He helps the needy and in exchange derives great satisfaction.
A nice art book to train children about importance of helping others and being kind.
Illustrations are candid, cute and gel smoothly with theme of the book.
Thanks netgalley and publisher for review copy.
