This book rhymes which is something I like in a potential read aloud book。 It touches on the feeling of guilt which is a valuable lesson for students of any age。 It shows how empathy can be turned into simple acts of kindness for anyone who may need it。 This story teaches students what kindness is。 I would say that this is a must read in a classroom because it teaches students the effects of bullying and how you can make things right and treat people well。 This book would be best for grades 2-4。 This book rhymes which is something I like in a potential read aloud book。 It touches on the feeling of guilt which is a valuable lesson for students of any age。 It shows how empathy can be turned into simple acts of kindness for anyone who may need it。 This story teaches students what kindness is。 I would say that this is a must read in a classroom because it teaches students the effects of bullying and how you can make things right and treat people well。 This book would be best for grades 2-4。 。。。more

I enjoyed reading this novel， truly。 It is about a boy who discovers that it is a much greater feeling to be kind to others than being a bully。 In rhymes， the story is told， and the rhyming words are bold， making it easy for children to relate to them。 Colorful and enlightening are the illustrations。 For children， this is a great way to learn about intentional kindness。 There are suggested acts of kindness at the end of the book， such as keeping the door open for others or giving the bus driver I enjoyed reading this novel， truly。 It is about a boy who discovers that it is a much greater feeling to be kind to others than being a bully。 In rhymes， the story is told， and the rhyming words are bold， making it easy for children to relate to them。 Colorful and enlightening are the illustrations。 For children， this is a great way to learn about intentional kindness。 There are suggested acts of kindness at the end of the book， such as keeping the door open for others or giving the bus driver a candy bar。 This teaches kids about kindness and behaving without wanting anything in return， which today seems to be an area of concern。 I would like to use this book as a read-aloud and explore any other forms of displaying kindness in a class group discussion。 。。。more

What a great book to have in a classroom for read aloud！ There is a little rhyme that makes this fun to read。 This book shows a numerous ways to be kind and show empathy in the classroom， and everyday life。 The boy in the story tells all the ways he goes about life to be kind and habits that were not kind that her learned to not do anymore。 This would be great to share with any age kids as a little reminder of how important it is to show empathy to others。 At the end of this story there is also What a great book to have in a classroom for read aloud！ There is a little rhyme that makes this fun to read。 This book shows a numerous ways to be kind and show empathy in the classroom， and everyday life。 The boy in the story tells all the ways he goes about life to be kind and habits that were not kind that her learned to not do anymore。 This would be great to share with any age kids as a little reminder of how important it is to show empathy to others。 At the end of this story there is also an "Act of Kindness" bingo game that would be great to play with students to help them be motivated to do acts of kindness！ 。。。more

Kindness is my Superpower is a book to teach children about kindness and having empathy towards one another。 The little boy in this book is unaware that he was being mean to kids in his class but his mom gave him some food for thought。 He thought， and thought so hard about it， and finally decided what he was going to do with the information his mom gave him。 This book is really great to teach kids about kindness and even rhyming， throughout the whole book the author， Alicia Ortego included rhymi Kindness is my Superpower is a book to teach children about kindness and having empathy towards one another。 The little boy in this book is unaware that he was being mean to kids in his class but his mom gave him some food for thought。 He thought， and thought so hard about it， and finally decided what he was going to do with the information his mom gave him。 This book is really great to teach kids about kindness and even rhyming， throughout the whole book the author， Alicia Ortego included rhyming which is a great way to introduce this to kids and expand their vocabulary。I gave this book a 5 star review because of the lesson it teaches and the vocabulary it includes。 The lesson is to be kind to everyone and I feel she did this in a cute way。 The author also included lots of rhyming of words and the vocabulary in general was picked well。 This book is a great way to teach a good lesson。 。。。more

This would be a wonderful book to read aloud to a class。 It teaches about empathy， kindness， and compassion。 But most importantly， it teaches that you are not defined by your "off" days。 Ortega did an amazing job capturing the idea that we are not perfect and continuously learning from our past mistakes。 This would be a wonderful book to read aloud to a class。 It teaches about empathy， kindness， and compassion。 But most importantly， it teaches that you are not defined by your "off" days。 Ortega did an amazing job capturing the idea that we are not perfect and continuously learning from our past mistakes。 。。。more

Some books are entertaining， some books are better tools， but this book was both。 This book created a great conversation with my family。 Kindness is a superpower because if practiced， you can learn to control situations so that you are the spark that creates positive energy and minimizes or can neutralize negative energy。 Understanding this is a tool for any age but， adding the kindness tool as a kid could become a gamechanger。 Lucas realized bridges are better built， not burning。 Then， the rhym Some books are entertaining， some books are better tools， but this book was both。 This book created a great conversation with my family。 Kindness is a superpower because if practiced， you can learn to control situations so that you are the spark that creates positive energy and minimizes or can neutralize negative energy。 Understanding this is a tool for any age but， adding the kindness tool as a kid could become a gamechanger。 Lucas realized bridges are better built， not burning。 Then， the rhyming patterns kept this book fun and even cool。 I would definitely recommend this book。 。。。more

This book was such a fun and cute way to teach kids to be kind to others and that it will make you feel good when you do nice things for other people。 I would probably read this book aloud to my class。 Teaching kids how to be empathetic and compassionate towards others is such a precious gift that need to be instilled at a young age。

A book with a good message for EYFS/KS1。 I particularly liked the list of suggestions for "Simple Acts of Kindness" at the end （like "donate old books" and "clean up your room without being asked"！） A book with a good message for EYFS/KS1。 I particularly liked the list of suggestions for "Simple Acts of Kindness" at the end （like "donate old books" and "clean up your room without being asked"！） 。。。more

I think this book is a great way to remind students to be kind！ Stories like these can be useful in cultivating a positive classroom environment and setting expectations regarding classroom behavior。 I like the main message that kindness can occur everyday through small actions！

This book teaches a great lesson for all kids when they are learning about how to be kind and what kindness is。 This is a very simple and cute book for really any ages。 Reading level would be more around 1st-2nd grade。

Such a wonderfully written book！ The author wants the readers to understand its important to be kind and nice。 I love how the author used poetry， rhyming words to make the story fun and interesting。 The illustrations are colorful and matched the story perfectly。 Children do not understand that teasing hurts others feelings unless someone tells them。 Often some children do not get that guidance， however， this book does a great job explaining it。

In this book， Lucas learns that kindness is cool！ He realizes that teasing his friend was very rude and that instead he should be kind。 He then goes on to show kindness too many people and explains how it makes him happy to see others happy。 I liked the illustrations in this book。 They were interesting but also simple enough that they were not overwhelming to a child。 I also liked how Lucas was not perfect， since he teased his friend， but he learned from his mistake。 The book flowed very nicely In this book， Lucas learns that kindness is cool！ He realizes that teasing his friend was very rude and that instead he should be kind。 He then goes on to show kindness too many people and explains how it makes him happy to see others happy。 I liked the illustrations in this book。 They were interesting but also simple enough that they were not overwhelming to a child。 I also liked how Lucas was not perfect， since he teased his friend， but he learned from his mistake。 The book flowed very nicely and I feel it would be easy for a child to follow。 The book also offered many examples of kindness that children can relate to and apply such as， waiting at the slide， or helping his sister tie her shoes。 I liked how the end of the book explained how it is good for families to do acts of kindness together and gave a bingo board of acts of kindness to complete。 I think there could be a little more representation in this book。 Although there is some， the majority of characters seem to be white。 Having a white male main character is also quite common。 I would recommend this book to others。 I think it would be especially beneficial for teachers or parents to use to help children understand what kindness is。 The novel would also be useful for teachers to teach rhyming words since the end of each line has words that rhyme in bold。 。。。more

Kindness is a term that many people nowadays seem to forget。 In this story the little boy takes out his moods on other people。 He is rebel at times。 After awhile his mom talks to him about how he can have a better superpower。 She teaches Lucas about how to be polite and kind。 Lucas then decides it would be better for him to be happy and kind then mean to others。 His new superpower is better。 It is Kindness！ The book is full of kind ideas and ends up being a really positive book。 Many kids need t Kindness is a term that many people nowadays seem to forget。 In this story the little boy takes out his moods on other people。 He is rebel at times。 After awhile his mom talks to him about how he can have a better superpower。 She teaches Lucas about how to be polite and kind。 Lucas then decides it would be better for him to be happy and kind then mean to others。 His new superpower is better。 It is Kindness！ The book is full of kind ideas and ends up being a really positive book。 Many kids need to be read this book and truthfully so do some adults。 Kindness is something that is super simple and it can really make someones day。 The illustrations flow and the colors are vibrant。 This book is also a rhyming book but it flows perfectly。 Key words in the text are bolded。 This book can be used for a read aloud discussion。 This book can be read to anyone but younger readers will appreciate it more because it compares it to a superpower。 This book is really positive and teaches how important it is to be kind。 。。。more

From the very first page， this book is different from other children's books about kindness。 The main character is a little boy having a bad day， who acts out by teasing his friend。 His mother takes the time to explain why this is wrong， leading to a child-friendly explanation of what it means to be kind。 The illustrations are adorable but it's the text that is the star here for me。 Rhyming couplets make this book rhythmic， but the rhymes never seem forced。 The book ends with a bingo-card of sim From the very first page， this book is different from other children's books about kindness。 The main character is a little boy having a bad day， who acts out by teasing his friend。 His mother takes the time to explain why this is wrong， leading to a child-friendly explanation of what it means to be kind。 The illustrations are adorable but it's the text that is the star here for me。 Rhyming couplets make this book rhythmic， but the rhymes never seem forced。 The book ends with a bingo-card of simple kindness ideas that any age can get in on。 Need to get a copy of this book for the kiddos in my life！ 。。。more

This is a sweet book。 The rhymes are reassuring and give good vibes。 The message is important。 It may simplify a bit， but the point of it is to show that kindness is good and makes givers and receivers feel happy。 So why not be kind？ I'm glad to have read the book。 This is a sweet book。 The rhymes are reassuring and give good vibes。 The message is important。 It may simplify a bit， but the point of it is to show that kindness is good and makes givers and receivers feel happy。 So why not be kind？ I'm glad to have read the book。 。。。more
