Jireh, a five-year-old girl with lightly tanned skin, a big smile, and short blonde curly hair, sits cross-legged on her bed. She wears a pink dress with tiny white flowers and sparkly sandals that flash when she wiggles her toes. Today feels special, and Jireh wonders what adventure the day might bring.
"I want to do something nice today," she whispers to her favorite stuffed bunny, hugging it close. The idea of spreading kindness makes her heart flutter with excitement. Sunlight dances across her cheeks as she hops off the bed, determined to find out what kindness truly means.
Jireh tiptoes across the lawn, her sandals leaving tiny prints behind. She notices a ladybug struggling to flip over on a leaf. Kneeling gently, she helps the bug find its feet.
"There you go, little bug. Now you can fly again!" Her laughter fills the air, and for a moment, the world feels brighter. She feels a warm glow inside and wonders if helping even the smallest creature is an act of kindness.
Jireh skips toward the sandbox, where a boy sits alone, his toy truck broken beside him. He looks sad, his chin resting on his knees.
"Hi! Do you want to play with me?" she asks, kneeling beside him. The boy glances up, surprised by her kindness. Jireh offers her favorite pink shovel, and together they build a castle, laughter echoing beneath the blue sky.
Jireh sits with her new friend, sharing her apple slices and cookies. She notices another girl nearby, looking hungry but too shy to ask for food.
"Would you like some cookies too?" Jireh offers, holding out the treats with a bright smile. The shy girl’s eyes light up, and she nods gratefully, quietly joining the group. Jireh feels her heart grow even warmer.

Jireh thinks about her day—helping the ladybug, playing with a lonely boy, and sharing her snacks. Each act made her and others feel happy. She hugs her bunny, realizing that kindness can be small or big, but it always makes the world brighter.
"I love being kind. Maybe tomorrow, I’ll find even more ways to help," she says softly, a sleepy smile spreading across her face as the stars begin to twinkle above.
Jireh snuggles under her blanket, still wearing her pretty sandals. As her eyes grow heavy, she dreams of gardens, playgrounds, and new friends—all touched by kindness. The adventure lingers in her heart, promising more tomorrow.
