Kindness Grows

"Kindness grows" refers to Britta Teckentrup's 2019 children's picture book, where a crack in friendships caused by arguments and mean words can be mended and "grow" back together through acts of kindness, warmth, and care. The book illustrates how simple gestures like a smile or sharing can spread love and strengthen bonds, transforming a damaged connection into a flourishing relationship symbolized by a growing tree of friendship. 

It all starts with a crack that we can hardly see, It happens when we shout or if we disagree. But with every kindness that we care to show, Something good and magical then begins to grow… Angry words and thoughtlessness cause a crack to open up, but find out what happens when kindness begins to blossom, in this thought-provoking book by award-winning illustrator Britta Teckentrup.
