I Don’t Want to Be Nice!

A book about showing kindness

Help young children recognize and understand their feelings, their actions, and how they are connected.

Finn is not very kind to his classmates, and he cares mostly about himself. He doesn’t help Ahmed or Lily. He shoves Molly and Freddy on the playground. In soccer, he doesn’t play fair. The children are mad at Finn. Then, when no one wants to play with him at recess, he feels sad and lonely. How will Finn find a way to make it all better? Ultimately, Finn’s teacher helps him see that he can change his mean behaviour and that kindness leads to friendship and fun.
