Help your children:

• Cultivate prosocial behaviors, including empathy, compassion, and concern for others.
• Show understanding and acceptance of people's differences.
• Be creative in relating to others and finding common ground.



Through engaging and relatable stories, the Tales of Total Kindness series was developed with social-emotional learning in mind to help children develop their emotional intelligence (EQ). Emotional intelligence is something that can be taught to young children and is a critical factor that can lead to better relationships, improved mental health, and greater success in adulthood.

In Being Like Bella, Frankie and Peaches discover a mysterious trail of footprints filled with icy blue hearts. The trail leads them to Bella, a droopy girl dressed in all white. Sad, lonely Bella just wants to keep her head down and blend in with the snow. When Frankie understands what it feels like to be Bella, she finds the path to her heart that makes her frown go away.

Questions at the back of the book can be used as a guide by parents, educators, and counselors to initiate discussions.
