Being Like Bella : A children's book about empathy and compassion and the importance of accepting others for who they are.

Frankie and Peaches discover a mysterious trail of footprints filled with icy blue hearts. The trail leads them to Bella, a droopy girl dressed in all white. Shy, quiet Bella just wants to keep her head down and blend in with the snow. When Frankie feels what it’s like to be Bella, she comes up with a honk-happy idea that just might inspire Bella to hold her head high.

Because sometimes the best way to help change the world is to start small

Being Like Bella is the fourth book in the series Frankie and Peaches: Tales of Total Kindness. The series was created to help children explore the concepts of empathy, compassion, and kindness, and encourage them to believe they can have a positive impact on their world.

Brave, big-hearted Frankie and her floppy-eared pal Peaches have a very long can't-wait-to-do list: grow butterflies, make marshmallow shoes, grow a smile machine, make some furry-feathery friends and end the math Monday blues. But their most important mission of all is to break the chain of bad feelings, turn frowns into smiles and bullies into buddies. Follow along with Frankie, Peaches and the Thanks-Welcome kindness crew in this five-part K-4 series and find out why it's cool to be kind!

Frankie and Peaches Tales of Total Kindness is published by Favorite World Press and was written by Lisa S. French, author of the Eco-Pig series (Abdo Publishing), and illustrated by award-winning artist Srimalie Bassani.
