Our theme for October is Kindness and our book of the month is Kind by Alison Green. It’s a very special book – a collection of illustrations and text by 38 international illustrators to celebrate kindness. The book explores many different ways we can be kind … a smile, inclusion, story telling… Here is a link to a lesson plan by Scholastic.
