Description

This is a great read aloud for parents needing to help their children learn to get along and share. This book is especially for young toddlers and written for ages 2-8 years old. Your child will want you to read this over and over again."Flying With Kindness offers children a valuable lesson in kind-heartedness and shows how one act of kindness can lead to another, and the positive effect on the recipient. It's a beautiful, yet simply written story with eye-catching illustrations and, in a rare feat, the author has conveyed the overarching message in an entertaining but non-preachy manner. In a world much in need of a little compassion and understanding, this children's book is a breath of fresh air." – Scott Medbury, Author of the America Falls Series, and father of four.

Very cute. As a mobile therapist and behavior specialist I appreciate that it gives different examples of how to be kind, and how kindness can pay off in very unexpected ways!

This is a short, lovely story to use when reinforcing social skills to young children. It can be useful to both teachers and parents; it may open to the door to lively reflection and discussion.

Short cute book about spreading kindness. Great for young kids to help them learn that sharing and kindness are contagious. Sweet how little boy shares his bear with crying baby. Others on flight see him spread kindness so they do too.
Super sweet story.

I thought that this was a lovely little story which focuses on kindness
The story has a good flow to it and I liked the ending as well and how the act of kindness is repaid. It also touches on sibling rivalry too which was good. It is 4 stars from me for this one

A lovely story on how showing a little kindness can be infectious.
It all starts with Basil who is going on a flight with his family. On the tram they see an old lady. Basil gives up his seat and makes a friend.
Lots of examples of how children can make a difference.
