Hurley and Pearl are a brother-and-sister duo who usually get along but, like all siblings, sometimes struggle with their emotions. One day, when Pearl’s singing pushes Hurley to his limit, a family conflict teaches them an important lesson: kindness begins with understanding and taking responsibility for your feelings.
With Mom’s gentle guidance, Hurley and Pearl learn the power of pausing, breathing, and reflecting before reacting. They discover that kindness can heal hurt, bring people together, and make everyone feel seen and loved. Inspired by Mom’s story of spreading kindness with small pink toy soldiers, the siblings begin a heartwarming mission of their own—to brighten others’ days, one soldier at a time.
At school, Hurley comforts a classmate with a pink soldier after a tough moment on the playground, while Pearl lifts the spirits of a substitute teacher who feels overwhelmed. Through these small but powerful acts, they realize that kindness doesn’t just help others—it fills their own hearts with joy.
Complete with a letter from the fictional Colonel Michael T. Pinkerton, Kind Kids: The Adventures of Hurley, Pearl, and The Pink Soldiers of Kindness inspires readers to create their own adventures of kindness. Perfect for parents, teachers, and children alike, this touching story explores sibling dynamics, emotional growth, and the ripple effect of small, thoughtful gestures.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars -
I loved the lesson in this story, and I believe every family would benefit from reading it. The idea of passing on kindness buy using pink soldiers was a wonderful one. The story was well explained as the children learned how to think before reacting in anger between themselves. I enjoyed their happiness at showing others kindness and how it made them feel. The illustrations were beautifully done and complemented the story. The questions were interesting and thought provoking.
I received a copy through RABT Book Tours, and this is my unsolicited review.
