The bell had just rung, and all the schoolchildren were packing their bags, ready to go home. Mrs. Wilson reminded ALL the children to stack their own chairs, yet the classroom was empty and several chairs still remained. Me, staying after school to finish some schoolwork of my own, noticed the unstacked chairs and gasped. I immediately stuffed my laptop into my backpack and hurried over to the lone chairs. I picked each one up carefully from the floor and laid them on the other stacked chairs. This was kind because Mrs. Wilson now wouldn’t have to spend her time stacking chairs after the inconsiderate schoolchildren.

Today as I was ready to eat lunch, I took a bread I really like from the fridge. Then I saw there were only two pieces left, and I thought of my dad who also really likes that bread. I decided to leave the bread for him and I took another kind of bread instead. This was kind because my dad was able to enjoy his favourite bread.

Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress is a book written by Christine Baldacchino and illustrated by Isabelle Malenfont. It is about a boy who gets bullied at school because he wears a dress. He goes home and paints a picture of space. Then he goes to school and is no longer bullied. I would recommend this book to ages 6-9.

When we were leaving our place to go to the store, I noticed it was very sunny and my mom didn’t have her sunglasses, so I travelled up the elevator and got them for her. This was kind because my mom’s eyes wouldn’t burn in the sun now.

My mom was busy cleaning the balcony, so I decided to get the package for her waiting in the lobby. This was an act of kindness because then my mom didn’t have to do it herself, and it saved time.

When my dad was asleep, I decided to add some extra strawberries to his cereal. I knew he would like this because he likes strawberries and fruit in general. This is an act of kindness because my dad felt happier that I had added more fruit to his cereal.

When my mom was out exercising, I decided to make some tea for her because I knew she had a sore throat and also because she would appreciate that I was making tea by myself. This was an act of kindness because it made my mom feel better and happier.

One is a story written and illustrated by Kathryn Otoshi about a colour called blue who was very quiet. He enjoyed looking up at the sky and splashing at rain puddles. He always wished he had the properties of other colours, but he still liked himself, except when red was around. Red liked to tease blue and make him feel bad. Yellow came to comfort blue, but she never told red to stop picking on blue, which was the same with the other colours. Red got bigger when no one stood up to him, and he was then huge and teased all the colours. Then one came along. One had a different colour and shape than the others. Red got mad and told one to stop, but he wouldn’t, so red rolled away. Red was very hot and was even hotter. Red went to blue and teased him, but then blue became a six and withstanded it. Red tried to squish blue, but all the numbers stood up to him. Then the numbers where nice to him and he became a seven and everyone was happy. I would recommend this story to 6-9 year olds.

Ivan The Remarkable True Story of the Shopping Mall Gorilla is a story written by Katherine Applegate and illustrated by G. Brian Karas. One day, two gorillas were selected to go to a new place in the USA. Once they were there, one of them died. The remaining gorilla learned to do human stuffs in a house, until he was moved to a cage in a shopping mall, where there was nothing to do. People suddenly became angry that the gorilla was there and tried to sign petitions. Then the gorilla was shipped to a zoo, where he liked it. He then met other gorillas and was very happy. This story is very good, the pictures are good, and I would recommend this story to 6-9 year olds.
