Colin Finds Kindness

A heartwarming story about helping others, showing compassion, and discovering the true meaning of kindness.

When Colin injures his wing during a moonlit flight, he cannot fly home. Colin, Chloe, and Weston are frightened and unsure what to do-until Caleb, a gentle young raccoon they have never met, stops to help.

Caleb cares for Colin's injured wing, shares his food and water, and guides the three little bats safely through the dark forest. When Colin asks why he helped someone he did not even know, Caleb gives him an answer he will always remember:

"I didn't have to know you to know you needed help."

With colorful illustrations, lovable characters, and a gentle read-aloud rhythm, Colin Finds Kindness helps young children understand that kindness means being friendly, generous, and caring-and that helping someone in need is a wonderful way to show it.

This meaningful story encourages conversations about:

• Helping people in need
• Caring for others
• Friendship and generosity
• Including and welcoming others
• Recognizing that no one should feel alone
