Storytime: Kindness is the Answer

Published: May 18, 2020, 8:36 p.m.

Gather around listeners, because Boyd has a story to illustrate the need for kindness, smartness, and knowing we are important no matter how small or different we are. Imagine a world where every child, and every adult, grew up or grew old wanting to be kind. Teaching and living the principles of kindness can change the world.  Charlie Mackesy’s children’s book “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse,” touches upon this principle and others in a kid-friendly conversation about universal truths. The book’s message and whimsical illustrations have earned it a spot on bestsellers lists and this morning Oprah Winfrey herself read the book live as part of Chicago Public Library’ ‘Live from The Library’ series. Even amid the storms of this pandemic please remember, kindness to yourself and others is still the answer.  ‘Inside Sources with Boyd Matheson,’ Opinion Editor at Deseret News, takes you inside the latest political news and current events, providing higher ground for today's discussions.
