Cost to be kind: Just making the choice

The world can always use more kindness and this book exemplifies the importance of how we treat one another.

The illustrations showed a comparison of the two different choices, without and with kindness. The pictures were great snippets of moments.

This book would make a great part of a lesson for a classroom setting.

I received a copy of this book from C.M. Harris and Purple Diamond Press Inc | Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Members' Titles, I am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions are my own.

I love the message behind this book! Yes, it's a children's book and is aimed at that audience, I do think that more adults could learn from it.

I loved the representation of all different people from a variety of backgrounds & abilities.

The artwork is also gorgeous!

This was such a positive, cute book that has a great message for all of us, young and old. The illustrations were well done, and I liked that the reader is given more specific examples of how to be kind in different situations. I also appreciated the extra discussion questions at the end to keep the kindness conversations going.

Great message! This is a book everyone should read. It has a great message and I love the illustrations.

It costs absolutely nothing to be kind to others, and What If We Were All Kind! serves as a gentle reminder of that simple truth. This short and sweet book, with its beautiful illustrations and thoughtful questions at the end, offers a wonderful opportunity to engage young readers in meaningful conversations about kindness.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and Purple Diamond Press Inc. for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a cute book about being kind to all. It give specific scenarios. It seems a little bit unrealistic for people who are raising multiple children. I would appreciate more depth to this book.

A wonderful book for understanding the word "kind" and its impact on the environment, as well as clear examples of how one can be kinder to others — whether peers, animals, plants, or adults. The book shows that kind has no boundaries and includes illustrative examples. At the end, there are discussion questions.

The first few pages of this book felt a little generic, but I ended up loving the more detailed approach it took. Many children books talk about being kind, but I’ve found that unless specific examples are included, it mostly goes over my kids’ heads. I really liked the discussion questions at the end.

I loved the subtle inclusion in the illustrations, without having to make it a big emphasis within the story. It was a beautifully illustrated book.

Such a positive message! We have the different ways throughout the story multiple children deal with spreading kindness to their peers . Each child has a unique scenario where they each learn the benefits of being kind. It is my most humble opinion that even older children can benefit from this book as it has information all children would need in today’s society. An excellent read for sure!

Adorable picture book defining kindness in multiple way. Great illustrations with actions showing kindness and diverse characters throughout the book. Perfect for any classroom to have in their library.

Right off the bat, I want to make a little note about the title of this book. It bothers me just a *little* bit that the title ends with an exclamation point and not a question mark (which would be correct). This is a really tiny thing, but worth noting!
Now, as for the book itself: bravo!! I think that what this book aims to do is shown clearly and in a rather beautiful way. The author preaches kindness and highlights that it isn't hard to do at all. Kids are a highly impressionable audience, and getting a really good message of kindness in their minds sooner rather than later is so, SO important. Lastly, the illustrations were clearly very well-thought-out and they showed the numerous different ways that kindness can be seen or shown in everyday life. I have literally nothing bad to say about this book, and I think that *every* kid should read this book!

Thank you for the ARC. What an incredible story. This is one I will buy to read to my toddler when he can better understand. Being kind is so important, now more than ever. Such a wonderful message. Takes the same or even less effort to be kind than to be mad and mean. The illustrations and rhymes were fabulous. Such a great book!

What If We Were All Kind by C.M. Harris is a delightful book that rhymes. This book invites you to talk about kindness in school, at home and in your community. I love the idea that kindness can blossom everywhere if we all show we care. The book offers simples ideas that you can help a young scholar implement. An example, is if you see someone sitting alone you can invite them into your friend zone. At the end of the book, you will find a set of discussion questions which are great for prompting conversations. Thanks for the early eARC. I enjoyed reading it.

I tell people all the time that I get paid exactly the same whether I'm mean or nice,so why shouldn't I be nice? This cute picture book has this positive attitude and it would be a great conversation starter at home and in the classroom so kids can make different choices in a nonjudgmental setting. How could you have done this differently? What are some other ways to be nice?
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

I love the message of being kind and the impact it can have on those around us. Great examples of different situations that require kindness (siblings). Illustrations are beautifully done. Appreciate the inclusion of discussion questions at the end of the book.

It's a very sweet book and I love the message. I'm not a huge fan on the illustration style but that is my own personal preference.

Great message. Easy way to teach younger students about kindness. The pictures were very on theme as well. Great job!

This was such an uplifting read with a powerful message that truly inspires. I love that the vibrant illustrations celebrate diversity and inclusivity, featuring children of all abilities. My daughter was captivated by the stunning, colorful artwork!

A beautiful book on importance of being kind every single day, with all who we meet, at home and outside. Kindness knows no borders and is more essential when some one is feeling lonely, someone is different from others. With lines that rhyme and lovely illustrations, this is a beautiful read on an important trait that alone can keep the world going - on kindness, to other human beings, animals and nature. Loved it.

A delightful and engaging rhyming book by C.M. Harris with beautiful, expressive and colorful illustrations by Vitor Lopes! There are a lot of details in the illustrations for the kids to recognise; along with discussion questions at the back!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
