Children love visiting Grandma Katie's Kindness Club where they hear fun tales about kindness and other good values, and share stories about their own compassionate acts. Bonus!! A special treat at the end of the story! Trusty Turtle is very happy living in the forest-until his friends tease him about his slowness and big shell, and begin calling him unkind names. At first, Trusty wants to be anyone but himself. But it is only when he discovers that kindness is contagious that the turtle learns an important lesson and teaches the others about acceptance and friendship. "Excellent story. I enjoyed it very much. These types of stories are so needed and lacking in the world and in our schools. Our young people, our little ones, need to be taught values in this manner. Great job. Keep up the good work. Keep these stories coming for the benefit of our children." - Dr. David Bickmore, retired educator, Lompoc United School District, Lompoc, California.
