Answer to Monday's Riddle! Be Kinder Than Necessary

Planting the Seeds of Kindness by Frederick Zappone
Great guessing Riddlers! Alex is correct! Kindness is the answer to the riddle. Wonder by R. J. Palacio was our clue, pointing out that it's important to remember to be kinder than necessary, and though we are all different, we are all exactly the same. Treating others the way you want to be treated just makes sense!

This week, Lizzy's review will be lovely, and Thursday we are looking forward to chatting about some wonderful acts of kindness that we've encountered on Top of the Heap. Friday, Margo will be chiming in with her two cents, and Saturday, we can't wait to hear from you on The DMS Wants to Know! So, happy reading in this bright, new year! See you all around the book block ; ) ~ F

I am something great that comes from within, an act or deed that inspires a grin. I bring with me a feeling of cheer- lessening the trouble and replacing the fear. I need no thank you, I ask for no pay- I only wish to brighten your day. You'll be amazed when you suddenly see all the good things you can do with me!

What am I? Answer: Kindness
