<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>As Charlotte watches her home and town being destroyed in a flood she sadly laments her loss, but in the midst of her anguish she soon discovers the power of healing through kindness.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Perfect for all children experiencing loss or grief, <i>A Flood of Kindness </i>gracefully confronts difficult feelings and celebrates the healing power of kindness.</b> "The night the river jumped its banks, everything changed." So begins <i>A Flood of Kindness, </i> a poignant picture book that addresses grief and loss and demonstrates how kindness can bring hope. Written in spare prose and told from an intimate first-person point of view, the story follows Charlotte, a young girl who watches floodwaters rise in her home and is forced to evacuate to a shelter with her parents. Kind people she doesn't know give her food, socks and shoes to keep her feet warm, and a place to sleep. As Charlotte adjusts to the shelter--a strange, crowded place that is <i>not</i> home--she grapples with feelings of anger and sadness. But as the days go by, Charlotte starts to realize how grateful she is for the things that she <i>does</i> have--her parents, a cot to sleep on, food to eat--and starts looking for ways to help others in the shelter. <br>All children deal with sadness and loss in some way, whether it stems from a natural disaster, the death of a pet, or moving to a new place. <i>A Flood of Kindness</i> acknowledges those difficult feelings and helps readers process them in a healthy way. Children will be encouraged to be kind to those who need a friend and to help others in whatever way they can, no matter how small.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ellen Leventhal</b> has been writing for as long as she can remember.
