Short and simple children's book with stunning illustrations and a nice message about kindness. A must-have if you're a collector of Jim Henson or The Dark Crystal memorabilia.

"Wow. I just loved this book. Kindness is the message I focus on the most, but a commitment to pursue projects that exude excellence follows closely behind for me. "

What a much-needed book this is! I love Nicole J. Phillips perspective and background about kindness, from her opening thoughts to the ending, the whole book has her unique style of writing and narrative that pulls you in and makes you really sit up and listen. She speaks from personal experience and I loved her story, I think so many people can see themselves in her story. I also believe that we all can use more kindness in our lives, and it all starts with how we treat ourselves like Nicole J. Phillips points out. We must be kind to ourselves before we can show kindness to those around us.

<b>“They (people) need a way to feel powerful and important, and kindness can give them that feeling” (p.85). </b>

The Negativity Remedy is one book I think everyone needs to read, it shows real life and how we need to make little changes each day to spread kindness to others; it is one book I know I will read again just to keep the ideas fresh in my mind and in the minds of those around me. I highly recommend this book and give it 5 out of 5 stars.

*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

One of my favorites from my childhood that I share with my daughter. It's a wonderful story about a young prince who is very harsh and cold but developed a kindness. He also developed love for a girl named belle.

The story of an aging lion that is ashamed after saving a vulture from being killed. But might that act of kindness save his life? Bill Peet's pictures are great, and the story is fun if fairly predictable.

Looking for a different kind of book that shows off kindness and friendship. I picked up a book called Journey to A New Earth that shows love and kindness through nature. It also shows it through the connection of each other.

This one is done beautifully and written well. They show that the light is shown through as all and we are all connected. Friendship and kindness are shown in this book. You can see what happens when something happens to another person or animal in this case.

What Penelope does to help Kobi is something we do not see often. But we should ask it something we all can do. We can listen to his story and maybe even help find his friends. We are from the same earth or place and we are all connected to the earth or and sky.

This book is also an exploration of what all new and what happens after a tragedy. We can all come together and work together. We can love and live together. Do you know that we connect through life-changing events and learn to find ways to persevere and save the earth through this? We are connected to each other along the way.

What's not to love. A heroine that reads books and speaks her mind. Singing candlesticks and a beautiful monster. (0 more)
I thought I would say the live action remake, but I love that too. (0 more)
My favourite disney film.
An epic morality tale that questions whether beauty and kindness of spirit are more than skin deep. With singing bric a brac to lighten the mood.
  
I am not a big romance novel reader, especially Harlequin Romance, but this story was good. The inspiration series was not that bad. I liked the story a lot. Seemed more real, seemed like the guy was respectful of woman and treated them with respect and kindness instead of dragging them off to who knows where and take advantage of them.
