The Kindness Quilt

Random acts of kindness pictured on a paper quilt Minna and her classmates have been asked by their teacher, Mrs. Bloom, to work on a Kindness Project. Mrs. Bloom wants them to do and draw and share an act of kindness. Minna and her family do lots of kind things, but Minna can’t decide which one is right for her project. Then she starts writing and drawing and cutting—and an idea for a paper quilt picturing many acts of kindness begins to take shape! Important lessons about being kind to each other are depicted in Nancy Elizabeth Wallace’s charming artwork using origami, recycled paper, markers, crayons, and colored pencils.
