"Mia has leukemia."What?"It's important for her to start treatment immediately," the oncologist said. "She'll need to be admitted to the hospital as soon as possible."
Human Kind: Changing the World One Small Act at a Time ~ by Brad Aronson, 2022, social action, 256 pages
When Brad Aronson's wife, Mia, was diagnosed with leukemia, they were overwhelmed by the outpouring of kindness from family, friends, and even complete strangers. Inspired by the many demonstrations of "humankindness" that supported their family through Mia's recovery, Brad began writing about the people who rescued his family from that dark time, often with the smallest of gestures. But he didn't stop there. Knowing that simple acts of kindness transform lives across the globe every day, he sought out these inspirational stories and shares the most heartwarming ones here.
You'll meet a mentor who changed a child's life with a single lesson in shoe tying, the six-year-old who launched a global kindness movement, and the band of seamstress grandmothers who mend clothes and hearts for homeless people. There are dozens of ways you can make a difference in the lives of others through simple words and deeds. Be amazed at how far a little kindness goes.
