**A _New York Times_ bestseller!**

**"These days, it seems more important than ever for books to show young people how to act with thoughtfulness, civility, and kindness." --_The New York Times Book Review_  
**  
When Tanisha spills grape juice all over her new dress, her classmate wants to make her feel better, wondering: _What does it mean to be kind?_

From asking the new girl to play to standing up for someone being bullied, this moving story explores what kindness is, and how any act, big or small, can make a difference--or at least help a friend.

With a gentle text from the award-winning author of _Sophie's Squash_, Pat Zietlow Miller, and irresistible art from Jen Hill, _Be Kind_ is an unforgettable story about how two simple words can change the world. Perfect for fans of _If All the Animals Kissed Goodnight_.

**One of Chicago Public Library's "Best of the Best Books 2018"**
