Tiny Acts of Kindness

This debut picture book by Tiny Acts Studio owner Ha emphasizes how simple acts can radiate kindness outward. Rhythmic text describes how kindness spreads (“For kindness can travel/ One place to another,/ It grows so much bigger,/ It goes so much farther”) as children partake in an assortment of outdoor activities. Soft, lineless digital illustrations lack focal points but effectively use light and color, making the picturesque landscapes pop. The narrative concludes with a checklist titled “52 Tiny Acts of Kindness,” which includes novel suggestions such as “call a store clerk by their name” and “have a vegetarian day.” Though some options (“Gaze at a starlit sky”) stretch the definition of kindness, the book offers a solid starting point for children seeking achievable activities and parents who hope to instill compassion early on. Ages 4–8. (Self-published)
