Overview

Jesus Reminds Zuri: Kindness Counts is a heartfelt children's picture book set in a modern Chicago neighborhood that teaches empathy, courage, and compassion through everyday moments. Zuri is a bright and caring young girl who begins to notice the quiet needs of others around her. When a classmate sits alone at lunch, when neighbors struggle in the cold, and when younger children go without, Zuri hears gentle whispers guiding her to act with kindness instead of turning away. Through simple yet powerful choices like sharing food, offering warm socks, and standing up for others, Zuri learns that small acts of love can create meaningful change. A playful pigeon and a loyal dog named Muffin bring humor and warmth to the story, making it engaging for young readers while reinforcing its message. Designed for children ages 4 to 9, this story supports social emotional learning and introduces faith based themes in a natural and accessible way. The book also includes six coloring pages to encourage creativity and reflection beyond the story. Perfect for families, classrooms, and community settings, this book helps children understand that kindness matters, every action has value, and helping others is something they can do every day.
