One thing that I always enjoy is books about Kindness! Fred Rogers lived in the city of Pittsburgh (1.5-2 hours away from where I live). Fred has always been the ambassador of kindness. I wish I would have been able to meet Fred, but his message lives on. I try to be kind to everyone that I meet. Naturally, I am drawn to books about being kind to others. With everything that is happening in the US and world right now, I think we all can use a little kindness.
