World Kindness Day is a global day that promotes the importance of being kind to each other, to yourself, and to the world.
If every Australian performed an act of kindness on World Kindness Day, we would have 25 million acts of kindness in a single day.
The day was established by the World Kindness Movement in 1998. It serves as a reminder of the power of empathy.
Reading books and putting yourself in a character's 'shoes' develops empathy so the library is a great place to collect books that you could read on this day. We will display some. Usually I steer away from books that have the 'theme' as the 'title' because often they are heavy-handed, preachy and dogmatic, but today I have chosen to suggest some books which do have 'kind' or 'kindness' in the title because for my young audience these books are worth sharing.
