Kindness is contagious! You show it to others, and they will show it to you.
King Kindness of Kandu is saddened by the way his people are behaving.
Arguing and fighting over silly things. Not stepping back to try to understand and love each other.
He knows it's time to put his foot down and teach them about the importance of kindness!
We will be remembered by how we treat people. It can start with just a smile, but kindness always ripples into something bigger!
Join King Kindness on his journey to teach the townspeople the value of kindness and create a ripple that reaches everyone there! And in your world too!

From author Fran Cain: "The world has lost sight of simple kindness. I want to inspire people to be different. Be the extra in the ordinary. Be extraordinary. Simple acts of kindness and love change everything, and it starts with you and me."
Cain's drive to create King Kindness and share this message with the world stemmed from when she was reading children's books to her grandson and was underwhelmed by the messaging for learning behaviors. She wanted to read books that teach children important qualities like kindness, being nice, being helpful, graciousness, and gratitude.
It all starts with kindness!
Some of the proceeds from the book will go toward children's hunger nonprofits.
Watch for future inspiring books from Fran Cain!
