Product Description

A grumpy crocodile learns what good can come when he chooses kindness in this adorable picture book for kids ages 4-8.

With everyday examples, approachable language, and adorable illustrations, adults will love introducing kids to mindfulness and meditation, inspiring them to look inward with curiosity and kindness.

Karl is a crocodile who lives in Orlando. He loves cardigans, crepes, and combing his hair. And . . . he has a terrible temper! Full of lovable animal characters, this playful story is a children's adaptation of Sharon Salzberg's beloved book Lovingkindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness. Like the original, it asks the question, "Why does what we do, say, and care about make a difference?" The book explores how generosity and mindfulness contribute to a life of happiness and connection.

In today's divisive society, lovingkindness asks us to stop, find quiet, and look within; and in that honest reflection, answers appear. With relatable everyday examples, approachable language, and adorable illustrations, the book will inspire children to look inward with curiosity and kindness. By understanding what happiness feels like for themselves, they can realize how all people desire happiness.

The book includes accessible activities at the end to help kids and parents start a lovingkindness practice in their own lives.
