What if one small act of caring could grow into something extraordinary? Caring by Kobi Yamada is a beautiful children's book that reminds young readers that their choices, kindness, and effort can make a real difference.

Follow a young boy as he meets a devoted gardener who has transformed a once-desolate piece of land into a lush, thriving oasis. Through their story, children discover the power of caring, persistence, connection, and doing something good—even when the change starts small.

A Book About the Difference We Can Make

Sometimes caring starts with something very small—a helping hand, a kind choice, or simply noticing that something needs attention. Caring gives children a powerful reminder that their actions matter and that they have more ability to make a difference than they may realize.
