    About The Kindness Machine

    The Kindness Machine: Book Cover

    The Kindness Machine

    Written by Christina Dankert

    Illustrated by Chad Dankert

    Ages 4+ | 32 Pages

    Publisher: Purple Butterfly Press | ISBN-13: 9781955119085

    Publisher’s Synopsis: Creative and artistic 2nd-grade teacher, Mr. Wilson, wants to teach his students about kindness. Mr. Wilson creates The Kindness Machine, a special machine that shows the students exactly what they can do to bring kindness to their classroom and into their hearts! Instead of telling his students to “be kind,” which is something children hear from a very early age, they learn exactly what they can do in their own lives by pressing the special buttons. In the end, Mr. Wilson teaches his students that they each have their own Kindness Machine within them to help make kind decisions for others and themselves.

    This creative, innovative, and fun teaching method will direct kids to be kind to one another in their classroom and beyond. The book includes discussion questions to help the reader consider not only kindness towards others but also kindness towards themselves, a lesson that is not always taught.

    The Kindness Machine is a practical and innovative tool for teaching emotional literacy, kindness, and acceptance of self and others.

    Available in hardcover, paperback, and as an ebook.
