Series Description
Brave, big-hearted Frankie and her floppy-eared pal Peaches have a very long can't-wait-to-do list: grow butterflies, make marshmallow shoes, grow a smile machine, make some furry-feathery friends, and end the Math Monday blues. But their most important mission of all is to spread kindness by breaking the chain of bad feelings, turning frowns into smiles and bullies into buddies. Join Frankie, Peaches, and the Thanks-Welcome Kindness Crew as they help others go from sad and blue to woo-hoo and find out why it's important to care-why it's always cool to be kind
