Understanding about unconditional love is extremely important for our youngest members of the family. Learning about love inspires kids to spread it to those around them and avoid toxic relationships.
Even in the classroom, understanding the importance of love, and recognizing that they are cared for is crucial for “fail-tolerance”, i.e. being okay with making mistakes.
So these books are more than just nice stories – they include wise, powerful and encouraging messages for your child to carry with them as they advance beyond preschool.
One Smile and One Voice are wonderful for children because they show kids how easy it is to give the gift of LOVE through a simple act of kindness… and change the world. In each book, one young child shares his/her love by offering a small act of kindness and sets off a chain of events that travels throughout a community. Preschoolers will love watching the kindness travel and inspire each new person to spread it in a new way, and love how the stories eventually come full circle in a surprise ending.

This adorable book is a classic that tells the story of a bunny who wants to runaway from his mother. He describes the various ways he will run away, and she replies how she will find him each time because he is her “little bunny.” The book shows the love between a parent and child, as the mother will do anything to find her baby. The runaway descriptions are cute, such as when his declaration that he’ll turn into a fish and swim away is met with her assurance that she’ll become a fisherman and catch him. Each page is also illustrated with charming pictures of the mother bunny chasing her son.
