The book: Chloe, the beautiful cat of the castle, has everything. However, for the past few days, nothing makes her happy, nothing pleases her. She goes to the bear doctor to find out why. He tells her that the only medicine she can take to find her lost joy again is not something ordinary nor can it be bought with money. What could it be?

The series: Kindness is a key 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 are more loved by those around them. In an era when expressions of anger and bullying are constantly increasing, the practical application of love may be the antidote. Parents and educators must prioritize the development of intelligence with a heart by teaching children to care for others and to be grateful to those who care for and love them. The books in this series highlight the value of kindness and become allies in achieving this goal.
