Do you want to join the Kindness Crew? Being kind is something everything can do Jake & Toby are puppy brothers who love to make people smile and spread kindness in their community. Together with their friend Rhyming Ruby, they form the 'Kindness Crew' and set out on a big adventure to find people to help. From teaching a baby bird to fly, to helping a lost pet find her family, Jake & Toby take young readers on an adventure to discover the power - and joy - of performing random acts of kindness." Jake & Toby's Big Adventure" is intended for children of all ages. We happily recommend it to parents, grandparents, teachers, caregivers - anyone who loves children and wants to teach them how being kind and showing empathy toward others, can make you feel good too. About 50 Days Of KindnessIn 2020, our family was motivated to start 50 Days of Kindness as a way to help others in our community and end the year on a positive note, by performing random acts of kindness for the last 50 days of the year. In doing this, we learned together as a family about the power of kindness to help, heal and build resilience. Today, 50 Days of Kindness has evolved into a purpose-driven organization that puts kindness into the world to improve the well-being of individuals and inspire people to make positive contributions to society, and toward a healthier planet. We do this by running an annual Kindness Challenge, promoting influential change makers, and developing content & educational materials to inspire and empower everyone, everywhere about the true power of kindness.
