Linda Ryden is an amazing author, teacher and overall person. Her approach to mindfulness makes it achievable for all, and I consider her an expert in the field of social emotional learning and mindfulness. Her books serve as a wonderful resource for parents, teachers, and students. -- Wanda H. Legrand, Ed.D Deputy Chancellor District of Columbia Public Schools Henry Is Kind is bright, fun, and engaging, which is wonderful because it means kids will love it. And it provides an easy way for teachers and parents to help children understand and enjoy being kind, which means adults will love it too. -- Sharon Salzberg, author of Real Happiness and Real Love What did you like about the book? Mindfulness in the classroom is a growing trend, and Henry is Kind is a wonderful way to introduce the concept to lower-grade elementary students. Henry is listening to his teacher and classmates talk about all of the kind acts they have done, and he starts getting frustrated that he can't think of a single nice thing he did. Luckily, his classmates are there to remind him that no small act goes unnoticed, and sometimes even the littlest moments make a big impact. At the end of the book, Ryden included a few pages on Mindfulness and Heartfulness. These pages have a plethora of information and resources for readers to incorporate the practices in their own lives. To whom would you recommend this book? Parents, Public and School libraries -- Meghann Price, Lynn Vocational Technical Institute, Lynn, MA - Youth Services Book Review,
