5 posts | 9 read | 3 to read
Kadir Nelson, acclaimed author of Baby Bear and winner of the Caldecott Honor and the Coretta Scott King Author and Illustrator Awards, presents a resonant, gently humorous story about the power of even the smallest acts and the rewards of compassion and generosity. With spare text and breathtaking oil paintings, If You Plant a Seed demonstrates not only the process of planting and growing for young children but also how a seed of kindness can bear sweet fruit.

This (AF) book “If You Plant a Seed” is a great book to teach students about the act of kindness and generosity. You can use this book as a RA to students. Over all, this is a cute book and explains how a seed of kindness can bare sweet fruit. The UDL principle include 7.2; optimize relevance, value, and authenticity. An EL strategy 1,3; teach questioning for clarification and encourage self-talk (positive thinking). #lae3414sp19

So it doesn't have the season in the title, but we do plant seeds in the spring (and I adore #kadirnelson's illustrations) #seasonofyourbirth $gypsykatsbirthdayweek @GypsyKat

If you plant a tomato seed, a carrot seed, and a cabbage seed, in time, with love and care, tomato, carrot, and cabbage plants will grow.

If you plant a seed of selfishness, in a very short time, it will grow, and grow, and grow into a heap of trouble.

But if you plant a seed of kindness, in almost no time at all, the fruits of kindness will grow, and grow, and grow, and they are very, very sweet.

I turn to books. My daughters will not grow up with hate and fear for those who are different from them so we will be reading about kindness and love and about people who have life experiences different from our own. These four books are coming home today but I have about 20 more on hold. It's a start.
