{"product_id":"9781496940186","title":"Kind Heart","description":"\u003cp\u003eKind Heart is not so much an in-your-face anti-bullying book. It’s more about how parents raise their children to be kind to all people, no matter the color of their skin, if they have a disability or if they’re different from other kids. The main character has a birth defect, but he never lets this get in his way, and he constantly sticks up for the underdog or a classmate that is different from others.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, in the ’60s where prejudice was rampant. I grew up Protestant in a predominantly Catholic neighborhood. Our family became friends with neighborhood families whom were Catholic. When I was five or six, one of our family friends told me I couldn’t play with them because I wasn’t Catholic. I was crushed. I thought something was wrong with me because I wasn’t Catholic! This affected me greatly and is part of the reason I wrote this book. Sometimes we meet, or grow up with people we may think will be a good role model —instead they give us a model of how not to be!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131976564976,"sku":"9781496940186","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781496940186_p0.jpg?v=1763667677","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781496940186","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
