Random Pay it Forward Acts of Kindness

This week Bashful Book Bee has found another great book encouraging “paying it forward.” As we start the New Year it is always a time of reflection and new beginnings.  I loved throughout the holidays seeing all the posts and reports of “random acts of kindness.”  My faith in fellow man is always lifted when I see people doing good deeds for strangers.  This Week’s book spreads that message…

 

Bashful Book Bee’s “BEELOVED” book of the week is

 

“Ordinary Mary’s Extraordinary Deed” by Emily Pearson.

This is a book of inspiration.  Mary is just a normal little girl that does a good deed.  The person she gives the good deed of kindness to decides to share with 5 more people.  Each person receiving a good deed gift then passes it on to 5 people who pass it on to 5 more people, and so on and so on.  The added lesson of the book is at the end when the book shows how the math adds up quickly and you begin to multiply the deeds by 5.  Teachers and parents alike will share great lessons with children when sharing this book.

Bashful found 3 other books with great stories to share this week.

·         Icky Little Duckling by Steve Smallman… great story of how sharing love always makes you happier.

·         If you were a Panda Bear by Wendell and Florence Minor…a precious rhyming book educating young readers in some interesting facts of 8 different species of bears.  The back of the book gives educators additional facts to use for teaching.

·         Roly Ply Pangolin by Anna Dewdney….sweet story to encourage shy students to reach out to friends.
