Margaret Paloma Pavel - Random Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty

Random Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty weaves a story of our world told through beautifully crafted animal figures and startlingly simple words packed with overwhelming truth. It show us on the edge of our world’s two potential futures: one of great violence and waste, and one of peaceful coexistence and growth.  This book makes us realize the power in our actions. It makes us realize that we create our world through random acts—acts such as planting a garden and making music with those around us. Random Kindness teaches that it is up to us to give sense to beautiful acts of creation instead of acts of destruction. We have the power to be good to one another, and to create a world of good.
