The perfect book for troubled times, this collection of over 25
real-life stories shows how heroic acts of kindness can change our
world for the better. In this uplifting collection of stories by
Alexandra Stewart, children are introduced to real-life heroes and
heroines who have chosen to act in kindness, even when they have
been faced with terrible persecution, prejudice, disaster and
illness. Aimed at empowering children who feel the weight of the
world on their shoulders, these stories are designed to help
readers make positive choices in their own lives by embracing
kindness as their superpower. Stories include Harriet Tubman’s
remarkable rescue missions to free enslaved African Americans; the
French village of Le Chambon’s protection of Jewish refugees
under Nazi persecution during the Second World War; and the
Fukushima workers who volunteered to clean up after the nuclear
crisis in Japan; as well as everyday examples of kindness in
sporting competitions, neighbourly acts of kindness and random acts
of kindness towards complete strangers.
