The book: The children are encouraged by their teacher to spend a… “Weekend of Kindness.” When they return on Monday, they hang their drawings on the branches of a plant depicting the good things they did or said during the two-day period. But what happened that these kindness drawings gradually flooded the town? And how did the people in this town manage to give and receive only joy from then on?

The series: Kindness is a fundamental element of social intelligence. Cultivating this value is very important, as it has been proven that children who learn to show solidarity improve their social relationships, become happier, and more loved by those around them. In a time when displays of anger and bullying are constantly increasing, the practical application of love may be the antidote. Parents and educators must prioritize the development of a heart-centered intelligence by teaching children to care for others and appreciate those who nurture and love them.

The books in this series highlight the value of kindness and serve as allies in achieving this goal.

The author: Yolanda Tsoroni-Georgiadi graduated from the Faculty of Law, the Pedagogical Academy, and the Department of Education at the University of Athens and has been further trained at the Maraslios Teacher Training College.
