The Kindest Word

What is the most powerful word in the world? Is it “Abracadabra”? Is it “Enormous”? Join Leo, a word-collector with a very large net, as he travels to find the "Best Word Ever." Along the way he asks lots of people, but all give him a different word.. But when he discovers a simple, two-syllable phrase that makes everyone’s heart glow, he realizes that the "best" word isn't the fanciest—it’s the one that builds a bridge between friends.

This story provides parents with a gentle, non-preachy way to teach gratitude and politeness.

It’s a perfect tool for all parents looking to encourage positive behavior and emotional intelligence in their 3-to-5-year-olds.
