Kindness is a trait that makes the world a better place — and it is key to creating a strong sense of community. For young learners, understanding kindness means treating others as they would like to be treated. 

These books about kindness will spark inspiring conversations and encourage your students to practice more empathy, both in and out of the classroom. Featuring characters who show small gestures of love to their family and friends (and to themselves), these books about kindness will teach kids about sharing, compassion, and forgiveness.

If you’re stocking up on books for your classroom library, be sure to explore books under $5 for grades PreK-2 and 99 books under $9 that build character.
