Join the Planetwalker, John Francis,
on an exploration of kindness, great and small. From the kindness John has
experienced in his own life to the history of how kindness has helped to shape
our laws, morals and communities from around the world.

Over
the whole history of humankind, kindness has been key to the survival of our
species, and to making our world a better place. Learn about Harriet Tubman,
who risked her life to help others escape from slavery, the Nomads Clinic,
which sends doctors trekking into the Himalayas to tend to patients, The Linda
Lindas, a group of young musicians who use their talent to speak up for the
rights of others, Joshua Coombes, a hairdresser who gives free haircuts to the
homeless, and many others. The joyous and awe-inspiring stories in this book
will encourage young readers to be kind to others. And being kind, even in
small ways, turns out to be healthy for you, yet another reason to practice
kindness every day. It's our planet to share together--let's be kind.
