Description
This heartwarming story encourages children ages 3-5 to always be kind to one another, through beautiful illustrations and a playful story with an important underlying message.
Rainbow Island is having a baking competition! Squirrel sets off with his famous chocolate cake, but when Goat crashes into him, the cake goes flying. Squirrel is inconsolable. However, he later finds out that it was an accident. Will Squirrel learn to forgive Goat's actions? Will Goat accept Squirrel's kindness?
This charming book for children features:
- A strong underlying message encouraging children to do kind deeds and continue to be kind.
- Teaches the idea that being kind is not a one-off action; it is a way of being, in order to be a member of the Kindness Club.
- Whimsical illustrations that sit alongside a heart-warming story about kindness.
- Parent/carer notes to promote discussion between adults and children, questions that encourage understanding of the topic, and two activities: making a Kindness Club Badge and making a Peacock Fan that will track your kind deeds.
Children will love the animal characters, and learning and understanding the different ways we can be kind to one another. There are lots of extra learning opportunities, from questions about the story to activities showing you how to make your own Kindness Badge to notes for parents and carers to extend learning and reinforce positive behavior.
In the words of Badger, who runs the Kindness Club, "When you show kindness, it makes you and your friends feel good."
At DK, we believe in the power of discovery. So why stop here!
There’s so much more to explore and love with DK’s Kindness Club series. If you enjoyed Squirrel Learns to Forgive, why not try the other books in the series, Rabbit Says Sorry, and Mouse Tells the Truth?

Kindness Club Squirrel Learns to Forgive

This book was so cute and well done. We all make mistakes and need forgiveness. The illustrations were so well done and the characters were great!! The story was cute and then the follow up questions were really well done.
I love the activities and think that kiddos will love it. This could be picked up by a babysitter, teacher, parent or sibling to help a child process that we all make mistakes and how we can ask for forgiveness and process the friendships we have and how we deal with conflict.
I highly recommend this book for children to read and have available in every classroom.
Keep Reading and find your next adventure in black and white.

5/5 Stars
Kindness Club: Squirrel Learns to Forgive was a sweet, emotionally educational read that emphasized the importance of considering the circumstances before becoming angry at someone else's actions.
I read this book with my four year old and six year old. This was a cute book, in the best way, but the author also crafted a wholly interesting world for the kids to explore! Each character was unique, and they all had different houses. There was even a neat map at the beginning that my kids really had a fun time discussing.
I really enjoyed this book, and so did my kids, and we will definitely look for more works by this author!
Thank you Ella Law and DK Children for this NetGalley ARC!

I really love in the beginning how it has a map and a character list, as this is great for introducing background knowledge before reading. I also like how some words are bolded to help add emphasis. The illustrations are beautiful while not being overly stimulating. What a great story encouraging kids to be kind!

5/5 Stars!!! Thank you, Netgalley and DK Children for this eARC for the Kindness Club Squirrel Learns to Forgive by Ella Law.
I LOVE this book. I love everything about this book: the illustration, the concept, the education, the questions at the end of the story, and fun activities at the end of the book. This is beautifully done and officially a new fan of this series. I know that this would involve reading several times to my boys and guess what? It'll be worth it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this. It's also just so cute. The Notes for grown-up at the end = beautiful touch!
I will definitely be looking out for the future series on this as well.

What a cute book about kindness and forgiveness. Sometimes things happen to us that hurt our feelings. What do we do with this. Do we stay mad or forgive?
This story is about Squirrel who is so excited to enter a baking competition. Goat knocks the cake over and squirrel is upset. What squirrel does to show kindness is what we should all do.
This book has words that pop out for emphasis and comprehension. As well as crafts you can make and questions you can ask your kiddo. It even has learning information for grown ups.
