What If Everybody Said That? cover

What if everybody chose to be kind? If you tell someone that they can’t play with you, there’s no harm done, right? But what if everybody said that? What if everybody forgot to be kind—and made fun of other kids’ artwork at school, or told a fib, or refused to share with a person in need? The world wouldn’t be a very nice place to live. But what if everybody thought before they spoke, so the world would be a kinder place? With clear prose and lighthearted artwork, this companion book to the bestseller What If Everybody Did That? explores the power of words and shows kids that the things we say matter.

“The protagonist has blue eyes, black hair, and light brown skin and is surrounded by a supporting cast of many races and ethnicities. A reminder to be aware of what one says, as well as a discussion starter about actions and consequences.” —Kirkus Reviews “With its heartfelt message and amusing pictures, What If Everybody Said That? is a great tool to introduce little readers to the concepts and importance of kindness, inclusivity, the power of words, and taking responsibility for one’s actions and speech.” —Word Spelunking “A smart addition to your collections on feelings, emotions, and actions.” —Mom Read It “I can see this book being very useful in a classroom setting or one-on-one to address negative comments toward others.” —Library Mom Books “An important picture book especially in today’s world.” —Booking Mama “A perfect tool to teach kindness and manners.” —Kristi’s Book Nook “This book acts as a good conversation starter and one that will show fully how words have consequences.” —Mrs. Mommy Booknerd “Every page of this story offers a perfect opportunity to begin a conversation about how the little girl’s, or another child’s, harsh words are making the other kids feel.” —Red Canoe Reader “I love this book and I think the message is simple but very much needed with little kids.” —A Rup Life “An excellent reminder of how we should treat others and how we want to be treated…I hope to read it to every elementary classroom that I sub in this school year. Teachers could use this book as an excellent opener to talking about classroom rules, playground rules, and general kindness throughout the school. It would make a great gift to celebrate back-to-school!” —Sincerely Stacey “Javernick and Madden let you experience what it looks like to be on the other side of unkind words and it makes an impact. Powerful but not preachy, it’s a wonderful pro-kindness tool.” —Story Monsters Ink
