By Duke Chang and Lizz Bryce (CanadaHelps), Illustrated by Sakshi Mangal
Violet’s Song – A Children’s Story of Kindness and Generosity
A Picture Book that Inspires Big Hearts in Little Ones
Violet’s Song is more than just a children’s book — it’s a heartfelt story that inspires children aged 4-6 to spread kindness, help others, and make the world a better place. Perfect for children and families, this beautifully illustrated book encourages thoughtful, generous acts, big and small. Great for storytime or independent reading, this book follows Scarlett Squirrel and her animal friends as they come together to help Violet heal her broken wing, and bring the joy of music back to their forest. CanadaHelps’s mission is to spark generosity and power positive change. With Violet’s Song, we want to seed a kinder generation where the innate generosity of children is unleashed, and they become champions of kindness in their families and communities.
