Queerty Award Nominee for “Best Read”

What does kindness look like? Little Nina is on a mission to find out, and she’s inviting young readers to join her on a joyful journey through her neighborhood—backpack packed, heart wide open, and eyes ready to spot Kind wherever it might be hiding.

From beloved performer and LGBTQ+ advocate Nina West comes this exuberant celebration of kindness in all its forms. As Nina explores her community, she discovers something wonderful: kindness isn’t just one thing. It’s helping a neighbor, sharing a smile, standing up for a friend—and most importantly, it’s being your authentic, magnificent self. Because the most special kind of Kind? That’s the you kind of Kind.

This vibrant picture book does something magical. It teaches children that self-love and loving others aren’t separate lessons—they’re beautifully intertwined. With playful, inventive language that begs to be read aloud (yes, “WUZZFASTIC” is now part of your vocabulary), the story creates a safe, joyful space for conversations about identity, acceptance, and what it means to show up as yourself in the world.

Perfect for:

  • Families celebrating kindness and inclusion
  • Classroom discussions about community and self-esteem
  • Young readers discovering their own special gifts
  • Anyone who believes the world needs more love and less judgment

Big-hearted, boldly colorful, and brimming with warmth—this is the kind of book that helps raise kind humans.
