Be Kind and Loving Out Loud! is a children’s picture book written by Isaiah A. Tisdale with illustrations by Mary Saeed. It aims to help children nurture loving-kindness and compassion not only for others but also for themselves. The book includes short stories about children encouraging each other, showing gratitude, sharing with friends, practicing mindfulness, and looking out for their community and the environment. After every story, you will find a positive affirmation to say out loud. Every story shines with hope, unity, and love. You will meet Angel, Logan, and Aubree doing yoga as a group. Ariana invites Rose to volunteer with her at a homeless shelter. Logan and Bryson dream of a world where everyone gets along and start making real plans to make it happen. There’s plenty more inside. Stories that lift you up and make you feel loved.
Be Kind and Loving Out Loud! presents a clear, simple message about love and kindness. Kids will see themselves in the different situations and characters. You tag along as the stories move from parks to stores to friends’ homes, and every chapter shows how just saying something nice or offering a kind word can totally turn someone’s day around. The writing feels easy and natural, so it’s a breeze for young readers to follow. I really like that Isaiah A. Tisdale goes the extra mile. He introduces every character with a little backstory, their dreams, and what makes them special. Each one stands out, and you remember them long after you finish reading. The illustrations pop right off the page. Every scene is full of bright colors and energy, which really brings the stories to life. I loved reading this book, and if you want a story that empowers you and reminds you to look out for others (and yourself), this one’s for you.
