How to Talk to Your Children About Differences

Children Differences Books

As an organization dedicated to fostering kindness in children, we know it is crucial to teach children that differences are something to celebrate, not ridicule.


In recent weeks we have received many requests for books we recommend.


Below you will find a downloadable list of some of our favorite books on the topics of racism, celebrating differences, and identity.


Kindness Grows Here was not asked to review any of these books. These are all books we sought out on our own, read, and carefully chose to add to this list. However, we are always looking for new books to add to our resource list, and if there is one you think we should check out, please let us know!!

Do you believe in the power of young people to create positive change? We do, and we need your help to make it happen! The Kindness Grows Here Kid Kindness Grant program is designed to support children and teens with impactful ideas for spreading kindness and making a difference in their communities. But, we need sponsors—like YOU—to bring these inspiring projects to life. Whether you’re an individual, a business, a book club, a running group, an advocacy organization, a faith community, a homeowners association, or anyone who believes in the power of kindness, we want YOU on our team! With your support, we can fund more projects and empower more young people to make the world a better place. What’s in it for you? When you sponsor a grant, you’re not just providing financial support—you’re becoming a part of a movement that inspires hope, builds community, and nurtures the leaders of tomorrow. You’ll have the chance to get involved with the students you sponsor, and see firsthand the incredible impact of their kindness initiatives. Together, we can make sure that no bright, young mind with a kind heart is turned away. Sponsor a grant today and plant the seeds of hope for tomorrow!
