If you have never read a book by Kadir Nelson (@KadirNelson), than you need to quickly get a hold of this book or any others of his. Not only are the words beautiful, but the illustrations are breathtaking.
The story line in If You Plant a Seed is a simple message, but packs a powerful punch:
"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've always told my students that kindness is contagious! Your students (young and old) will delight in the beautiful illustrations and the very important message of "taking care of others" in this book! Why not commit to #TakingCareThurs this year and begin planting some seeds of kindness!
