I’m hoping #Bluesky will be in more robust health for this today. 🤞

It’s been a bit of a week, made brighter with pockets of immense kindness.

So for #KidsBooksFriday this week, I thought we could celebrate books that highlight the importance of kindness.

The look of confused horror on my husband’s face this morning when I said, “Did you remember my special anniversary today?” was worth it!! 🤣

A touching tale of love and loss illustrated by Max Rambaldi.

Millie has always wanted a dog, but when her grandmother passes away, she finds herself scared of letting anyone (or any dog) in. Can her dads help her find the perfect pup to teach her to love again?
