Baby Be Kind

Even babies can be kind, and for the youngest of children, Jane Cowen-Fletcher's endearing artwork makes the possibilities ever so appealing. What are some easy ways to be kind? Say hi to your friend. Be nice to your puppy. If you see someone fall down, maybe you can help them up! How about sharing your cookies or crackers? Or giving a tired someone a ride in your little wagon? From taking turns to saying you're sorry, trying not to be angry to giving a big hug, these simplest of gestures, rendered in Jane Cowen-Fletcher's adorable style, show that being kind feels so good that even a baby will want to try it.

Jane Cowen-Fletcher is the author-illustrator of numerous books for children, including Hello, Puppy!; Baby Elf’s Christmas; and Nell’s Elf. She lives in South Berwick, Maine.
