Kids who complete the kindness mission will receive a free copy of the book to take home. Perfect for preschool and early elementary ages!
Marlaina Mannella is a writer, marketing consultant, and mom of two boys who keep life equal parts magical and chaotic. Based in Yardley, PA, she spends her time running her consultancy, navigating sibling negotiations, and embracing the sweetness and mayhem of life with her sons, Palmer and Worth, and her husband, Nick. Marlaina has always loved creating stories on the spotāusually inspired by her kids and the unpredictable world around them. Her debut childrenās book, Izzy and Rubes Practice Kindness, captures that same spirit, celebrating family, positive parenting, and the small moments that shape little hearts.
