Each Boomer and Halley book carries a stamp on the front that reads: Stories to entertain and motivate Kids to be Kind and Caring . When I was first approached to define these episodes of our Little Lessons. Big Results(tm) series for ages 4-8, I though that those two words were kind of bland. Not much sizzle there. That was then. This is now.

As the country continues to spiral into a deepening spin of negative discourse, I realize the power invested in those two words. At the end of the day, parents want their children to grow up to be Kind and Caring adults. Employers want those qualities in an employee. You want your friends, your spouse, your local store owner to have those qualities. They are the basis of a quality person.

It is amazing to me that the humorous stories of a rambunctuous dog and precocious cat learning life lessons as they go, could have this kind of impact. Kids love the fun, adults appreciate the core values imbedded in the story lines.

Ever paid attendtion to the random acts of kindness you see in a day? Are you contributing?
