Coming Soon
Stories have a special way of helping little (and big) humans understand what it means to care for one another — to be gentle, to be brave, to forgive, to belong.
This year, we’ve pulled together a beautiful collection of books that celebrate love in all its forms:
friendship
kindness
family
community
Compassion across cultures and languages
From quiet moments of connection to big-hearted stories about looking out for each other, these are the books we keep coming back to — for storytime, classrooms, libraries, and cosy reading at home.
Available in multiple languages, because love sounds best when everyone can hear it in their own words. Browse our Love, Friendship & Kindness picks online and find a story that speaks to your heart (and maybe someone else’s too).
