![]() ![]() ![]() There have been times in my own life when I have been in need of kindness from others. This is the form of kindness that I have been inspired to share since my first time reading the book. What I love most is how the story highlights one of the most important forms of kindness that we can practice: a kind where we do not have to understand why we are doing it, but we know it will help somebody else. The nine-year-old main character of the story travels around New York City meeting all kinds of people from all over the world. This story is meaningful to me for many reasons, but especially because of what it teaches about kindness. In my favorite book “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,” Jonathan Safran Foer writes about the struggle of a young boy trying to connect with his father after losing him on September 11th. “I hope that one day you will have the experience of doing something you do not understand for someone you love.” ― Jonathan Safran Foer ![]()
