One Tiny Dot

A charming exploration of the power of kindness, embodied by a simple dot.

There once was a dot, who was really quite small,
who sat on the pavement not minding at all
that is wasn't that big or that bold or that rough,
for this dot was KINDNESS and that was enough.

Kindness comes in all shapes and sizes and in this uplifting and inspiring book, it starts out as a dot and morphs into all sorts of different forms as it spreads joy wherever it goes. The power of kindness is explored in a distinctive and deceptively simple way as we witness kindness overcoming anger and sadness.

A beautiful book with a strong and important message.
