Synopsis:
Kiko grows and cultivates her garden, harvesting and sharing the fruits and veggies with her friends, neighbors, and family. This delightful tale serves as a metaphor for nurturing relationships and community while sharing kindness with others. Grow Kind is a gentle narrative based on positive psychology and choice theory, essentially about cultivating kindness.

Our Thoughts:
This is a cute story about a girl who grows her own veggies and shares them with her family, friends, and neighbors.

Kiko is kind-hearted and generous, but she also learns to be patient when her older sister oversleeps. She wants to share her beautiful garden with her sister and she wants to share her harvest with everyone. There are lots of manners used and kind gestures that really stand out and show the importance of kind behavior. There's even interaction with disadvantaged persons.

This sweet story will help children understand kindness, generosity, empathy, and understanding.

At the very end of the book, there is a rather long note to parents and caregivers in helpful sections about how to use the book as well as tips and resources for how you and your child can practice kindness towards yourself and others.
