I've got two very sweet books that are great to read to children about friendship and kindness. Kindness is a Lot of Things -by Edith Eckblad 1965, was given to my husband when he was an itty bitty boy, and the other one is A Friend is Someone Who Likes You - by Joan Walsh Anglund 1958.
From Kindness is a Lot of Things:
Kindness is leaving an apple on a low branch where a small friend can reach it.
And keeping with the apple theme from:
A Friend is Someone Who Likes You:
A tree can be a different kind of friend. It doesn't talk to you,
but you know it likes you, because it gives you apples....or pears
....or cherries.....or, sometimes, a place to swing.
Both of these books are illustrated so nicely. Precious books for your little ones.
