Picture Books About Kindness

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, we decided to look around for some picture books about kindness.

It wasn’t hard. In fact, we discovered that many of our favorites have this basic message of kindness. (Including books like Ferdinand or Corduroy)

Here is the list that we came with. (The Spiffiest Giant in Town was my kid’s top pick. )
