This writing journal features 31 prompts to inspire children to create their own works of poetry. For instance, a prompt might say: What does your favorite color taste like? The child then journals about their favorite color and writes a poem from that journal. Children also are encouraged to observe events and conversations around them and come up with ideas for poems from those observations.

Every generation faces tough times – and I’m sure every generation sometimes thinks that darkness is always overshadowing light. That certainly seems to be the case as we enter the 2020s.

There is so much derisiveness surrounding us in these modern times with politics, violence and catastrophic world events that it is hard to imagine things will improve any time soon.

But I believe there is a way to make the world in which we live a better place. And every single person alive can help make it so. It all begins with kindness.

If people began showing more kindness in their everyday lives, I think they could transform the planet into a happier place. It is difficult to be angry and argumentative if you are surrounded by kindness.

Kindness can make the giver and the receiver feel so much better about themselves and the world around them.

That is why I created this 30-day challenge journal with prompts for kindness to inspire you to become more kind to your family, friends and strangers. And I hope by the end of the 30 days, you find that you have been transformed, as well, into a kinder, more caring person.
