From the excellent podcast for kids - Circle Round. "This story is called “A Cup of Poi.” Poi is a popular food where our tale originally comes from: Hawaii, the only island state in the United States. It’s all about the magic that happens when we’re kind to others… especially when we’ve never met them before!"
Another great episode from the podcast for kids - Circle Round. " This story is called “Nilsa and the Troll.” It’s inspired by tales told in Denmark, in northern Europe. It is a story about a young woman that is all about practicing gestures of kindness. And though they seem small at first, they lead to some very big results!"
"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."
