Summary "Around the globe and since the first humans walked the Earth, kindness has been an important part of how people live. We care for the sick, feed the hungry, save others in danger, speak up when we see someone treated unfairly, and listen with compassion when someone is suffering. Great leaders can do it, of course. But as you'll see, so can inventors, musicians, hairdressers, environmentalists, and everyone else, too. Join John Francis, the Planetwalker, on an exploration of kindness great and small. And learn how you can make kindness a part of your everyday life, too."--Back cover.
