Always Be Nice! The first in a series of children's books featuring frog and his friends, colorful characters I have enjoyed creating for years. The endearing characters share their message of kindness, while realizing the impact on others. Frog learns the contagion of smiles, and spreads his kindness shown with a progression of illustrations. One more frog smiles, then two, then all are smiling. The difficulty of being nice to others when they are nasty is discussed. The book concludes with suggesting your kindness can change someone’s day or even someone’s life. Children strive to please and help others, and what better way than practicing being nice.
The simple, colorfully illustrated book is first in a series of kindness, friendship, and acceptance. The charming, cheerful characters gently implement their reminders. Having raised four boys and regularly surrounded by preschool grandchildren, I know we all need reminders. Being nice was always a Radke rule and I regularly quoted “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” The amiable Frog, Mouse and Ladybug characters have existed for years and inspiring the development of them into simple stories with simple messages are my young grandchildren.
ALSO AVAILABLE THROUGH Barnes and Noble and Amazon
"Always Be Nice" is a book for kids with a perfectly simple message (and one that applies to adult readers, too). The illustrations are beautiful. The vibrant, colored frogs showing their emotions on every page entertains the reader and makes a perfect gift. Can't wait to see the next editions Lauren has in store. ~Jeanne
As a preschool teacher I love the message in this sweet book! My students love the adorable frog illustrations!
I bought this book for my Godson/Nephew Owen, as one of his Christmas Presents. Owen loves bedtime stories. I feel in this world, and next our generation, we need to not lose sight of how we should, “Always Be Nice.”
"Perfect message for children, for all of us. My grandchildren love the message and illustrations. Thanks Lauren for sharing your talents!"
