Where Goodness Grows - A Story About Kindness and Community

A rhyming picture book about kindness, empathy, and community for children ages 4–8.

Milo doesn’t plant seeds you can see—his are seeds of kindness. With each gentle rhyme, children follow along with each small act of kindness: a smile, a helping hand, a thoughtful gift. One by one, those acts begin to grow, spreading joy through the neighborhood until the whole community blossoms.

Why parents and teachers love this book:

• Written in lyrical rhyme that makes reading aloud fun and memorable
  
• Teaches children about kindness, empathy, compassion, and community
  
• Perfect for bedtime stories, classroom read-alouds, and social-emotional learning lessons
  
• Beautiful illustrations capture the magic of small acts blooming into something big

Where Goodness Grows is more than a story—it’s a reminder that every small act of kindness is a seed. And when planted, those seeds can transform the world around us.
