From the tiniest beetle to the most majestic whale, every creature on Earth is a marvel, deserving of awe and compassion. This remarkable picture book is a unique celebration of living things of many kinds and the kindness we can show them as we wander through the world. With its resonant messages of care and stewardship of our fellow inhabitants of this planet, including self-compassion, Kind is a stunning, lyrical and important masterpiece from an exciting Australian talent. Jess McGeachin is an author/illustrator based in Melbourne. Constantly inspired by the natural world, Jess draws quite literally from a day-job at the Melbourne Museum. His debut picture book, Fly, was published by Puffin in 2019 and was shortlisted for the CBCA and Queensland Literary Awards.

A truly wonderful celebration of all 'kinds' of wildlife and of just being kind. Kind is a beautiful and timely reminder of the kindness we should show to all creatures, including ourselves. The text is simple and lyrical, imploring us to see the magic in every creature... The vibrant illustrations are beautifully detailed, with each creature being identified. This is the perfect book for discovery or to share with young nature lovers.
