Grow Kind

Grow Kind is a gentle narrative based on positive psychology and choice theory, essentially about cultivating kindness.

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 of nurturing relationships and community, while sharing kindness with others.
