Summary
Written by kindergarten teacher and Instagram influencer affectionately known as the Tutu Teacher， comes a picture book about a class that creates a kindness pledge to ensure that their class is the kindest it can possibly be。
It's the first day of Kindergarten and Leo isn't at all ready。 Leo is a quiet kid and would prefer to stay home。 Over the summer， his new teacher， Ms。 Perry sent a letter asking her students to think about how to show kindness in school。 She explained that they would be making a kindness pledge， and each student should bring one way to show kindness on the first day。
As it turns out， Leo's classmates have lots of ideas about kindness: like raising your hand， never leaving anyone out， and apologizing if you hurt someone's feelings。 At the end of the first day， Ms。 Perry asks if anyone witnessed something they'd like her to add to the kindness pledge？ Lots of hands shoot up in the air。 Several classmates say they noticed Leo returning crayons to the box， holding the door for everyone， and helping a friend who fell。 Leo smiles as he realizes he really does know a lot about kindness after all。
A story reassuringly told by Vera Ahiyya and brought to exuberant life by illustrator Joey Chou， this story about a classroom coming together to make a kindergarten into a KINDergarten is sure to calm the nerves -and offer inspiration--to new kindergartners and the adults in their lives。

Not every child is loud and eager to share his/her/their thoughts or information about themselves。 This picture book demonstrates how important it is to make all children feel welcome at school。 In the case of Leo， a welcoming letter from his future kindergarten teacher， Ms。 Perry， makes him anxious since he isn't sure he has anything to share about kindness as she has requested。 Before touring the school and having lunch， Ms。 Perry introduces the Kindness Pledge to her students and asks for sug Not every child is loud and eager to share his/her/their thoughts or information about themselves。 This picture book demonstrates how important it is to make all children feel welcome at school。 In the case of Leo， a welcoming letter from his future kindergarten teacher， Ms。 Perry， makes him anxious since he isn't sure he has anything to share about kindness as she has requested。 Before touring the school and having lunch， Ms。 Perry introduces the Kindness Pledge to her students and asks for suggestions about how to be kind to one another。 His classmates make Leo feel welcome， but he is still baffled about what to add to the Pledge。 However， after several youngsters talk about the various ways that Leo was kind to them throughout the day， Leo is thrilled， especially when Ms。 Perry acknowledges that actions matter more than words。 His second day of kindergarten is one that he eagerly anticipates because his new classmates noticed him， quiet as he is。 Brightly-colored illustrations--digital， I think--accompany this encouraging story reminding readers that kindness is much more than just reciting words or taking a pledge。 The back matter includes the Kindness Pledge and notes from the author， a teacher， discussing times when it might be a good idea to review the pledge。 The book jacket opens to display a wall poster of the Kindness Pledge for quick reference and posting on classroom walls。 This is a great reminder that kindness should matter every day， not just on certain occasions or in order to receive points or acknowledgement。 。。。more
