Kindness Rocks!

The sun is out, and we have been too! During family walks in our neighbourhood and on hiking trails, I  have come across some beautifully painted rocks. These always make me smile, and I am so grateful to those who have hidden them as small acts of kindness. These kindness rocks inspired me to dig into our collection and find rock related books for this week.

Ishi: Simple Tips from a Solid Friend by Akiko Yabuki is such a lovely story about how to handle "stinky days", we all have them!

Only One You by Linda Kranz is a vibrant story book with some wonderful life advice for young and old.

If you're interested in learning more about rocks and minerals, here are some resources for you to check out:

Vancouver Rocks  learn about rocks and minerals with a geologist from the lower mainland.

Discover fun facts about rocks and minerals using Science Flix

Check out the non-fiction e-book Geology On the Move

We painted collected and painted some kindness rocks of our own, maybe you will be inspired to create some too!
