Kindness and Sharing Story Book Prompts for Kids

Kindness and sharing are among the most taught values in early childhood, and a picture book makes them feel natural instead of preachy. These prompts show a character choosing to share, and the good that grows from it, from a mouse's last strawberry to a giant's overflowing orchard. They suit parents, preschool and kindergarten teachers and KDP sellers in the character-building niche.

But on the way home she meets a hungry hedgehog, a tired snail and a sad little sparrow. Mabel cuts the strawberry into four pieces, one for each of them. The next day, her new friends arrive with blueberries, seeds and a walnut, and together they have the biggest picnic in the meadow.

Gertrude, a gentle giant with patched dungarees and a bird's nest in her hair, grows an orchard so big that apples pile up around her house and rot. The villagers below are scared of her and have empty pantries. One day a brave boy named Finch climbs the hill to ask for a single apple. Gertrude gives him a whole cartful. Soon the villagers come too: they bake pies, press cider and invite Gertrude to the harvest feast, where she finally has friends.

Tips for making a kindness and sharing story book

  • Make sharing cost the hero something; giving away the last strawberry means more than giving extras.
  • Show kindness coming back in a way the child can see on the last page.
  • Teachers buy these for SEL units, so keep the moral clear but let the story carry it.
