- What if someone needs help carrying like,
all their books?
All of it and then-
(girls laughing)
Whoa!
- Well, you know what I'd do?
I'd take some of books and I'd carry them.
- And me too, I'd do this too.
(girls laughing)
(upbeat music)
- Hi, welcome to the Disney Princess Club.
I'm Angela.
- I'm Elena.
- And I'm Briella.
- Today, we are going to be reading
"Kind As a Princess" by Catherine J. Manning.
- I love this book so much
and that's why I really wanted to read it.
- Yeah, I can't wait to learn all about
all the kind acts of princesses.
- Kindness is so important for relationships,
friendships, adventures,
and especially happy endings.
- "Disney princess" on three? One.
- Two.
- Three.
- [All] Disney princesses!
- [Elena] "Kind As a Princess" by Catherine J. Manning.
Princesses are kind. But what does that mean?
Kindness is being brave enough to care for the world,
for others, and for you too.
I think this is so important
because it shows that kindness is not just for other people.
You have to be kind to yourself too
and I think that is so important.
- Sometimes, you gotta show kindness,
say like, "oh, I'm sorry," and that's kindness.
And you got to care for other people,
you got to respect them.
- Yeah, there's so many different ways to be kind
and I'm really excited to learn more about it.
- Yeah.
- [Briella] Moana helps others
find the goodness in their hearts.
Her courage helps her to see the goodness inside them too.
Remember in the movie
when Moana helped Te Fiti find the good in herself
and not the bad?
- [Elena] She really showed Te Fiti
how to remember the good times,
and I think that such a positive thing.
- If somebody is mad or something,
maybe just say, "Hey, are you okay?"
Try to start a conversation
so they can feel good about themselves.
(lighthearted music)
- [Briella] Rapunzel gives each friend a turn.
Jasmine shows she cares by sharing.
- [Jasmine] You must be hungry.
Here you go.
- Yeah. There's lots of different ways to share.
I remember one time,
my friend at recess didn't have any snacks,
so I gave her a piece of my cookie, and she was so happy.
It's always good to share.
- And now, esteemed offendee, we feast! Alright.
- [Briella] Even with homework, if they don't have a pencil,
you could say, "Oh hey, yeah, I have a pencil."
Because when you're sharing,
it makes the other person
that you're sharing with really happy.
And when you share, it makes you happy.
So, it's equal.
- Yeah. For sure.
- [Elena] Belle knows that sometimes self-kindness
means standing up to bullies.
- Sorry, Gaston,
but, but I just don't deserve you.
- [Elena] And Snow White knows how to ask for help.
After all, help is a brave, kind gift.
What if like, someone needs help carrying like,
all their books?
All of it. And then-
Whoa!
- [Elena] Well, you know what I'd do?
I'd take some of those books and I'd carry them.
- [Angela] Yeah, and me too. I'd do this too.
Pocahontas thanks the Earth for the gifts it gives.
She shows she cares with gratitude.
(Triumphant music)
Cinderella lends a hand whenever she can.
- [Cinderella] Well, let's just slip it on for size.
- I think that's really important
because you could always help somebody
if they're having a bad day
or it looks like they're struggling with homework
or something.
you could always ask somebody like,
"hey, do you need help?"
And maybe that'll lighten up their mood.
- Yeah, for sure!
- [Elena] Ariel shows herself
love and care when things get hard.
I think that's so important
because even when things get hard,
you need to be kind to yourself, and love yourself,
and really care for yourself.
- Sometimes, when I need help,
and maybe I'm just stressed out a little bit,
I just need to take a deep breath.
And that shows I really care and love myself.
- Yeah. For sure.
Taking breaks, shows yourself that you care about yourself.
- [Briella] Merida is sure to say she's sorry
when she does something unkind.
I think that's very important
because when you do something unkind,
you should always say, "sorry".
And, to show that you care about someone,
you should always say, "oh, I'm sorry".
- [Angela] Yeah, you should always forgive people.
Jasmine respects herself.
She uses a brave voice to speak her mind.
- When I am queen, I will have the power to get rid of you.
- [Angela] Aurora respectfully listens
to others' brave voices, too.
- You are already betrothed.
- Betrothed?
- I think you should always have a brave voice,
especially if somebody bullies you
and they're trying to push you down
and you can be the bigger person and say,
"hey, stop. I don't feel comfortable with you doing that."
And, you should listen to other people's ideas
so they can be heard.
You can also come up with a great idea
if you listen to other people's opinions.
- [Elena] Mulan cares for the world by doing what's right.
I think this is so important
because you can say you care for things,
but you have to do what's right.
Always go the extra mile.
And, I think that's the true magic in Mulan's story.
(Triumphant music)
- My little baby is all grown up and-
And saving China.
- She obviously cared about China,
and she ended up saving it,
which is such a magical and amazing thing!
And that's why Mulan truly inspires me.
- Yeah. - Yep.
- [Briella] Tiana cares for herself
by working hard to follow her dreams.
- We all goin' out dancing tonight.
Care to join us?
- [Man] Yeah, live a little, it's Mardi Gras.
- You know I got two left feet.
Besides, I'm gon- You need napkin sweetheart?
I'm gonna work a double shift toni-
Here are your hot cakes.
You know, so, so I can-
- So you can save for your restaurant.
I know, I know.
- [Elena] Rapunzel cheers others on
as they follow their dreams too.
Oh yeah.
And, I have a lot of dreams,
but sometimes I feel like I can't reach up to them.
But you guys, and my family, and everyone are supporting me.
So, that feels like I could reach up to my goal
and my dreams.
So, thank you so much.
- You're welcome.
Ariel says goodbye to her loved ones.
She shows them that she cares.
I think it's really important
because even if you say like the little things,
like "thank you"
or "you're welcome", or "please".
Or saying "hello" or "bye".
I think it just shows that you care for other people
and people say, "yeah,
she really cares about me and the environment around us".
- Yeah!
You can be as kind as a princess.
Go the extra mile with love, respect,
and care for yourself and everyone.
I think this is such a beautiful message because it shows
that you have to go the extra mile for kindness.
Sometimes, it might be a huge mile!
- Yeah!
- But, it is such a beautiful thing
that deserves to be celebrated.
Kindness is truly amazing.
- And kindness has its own reward.
- For sure. - Yep.
- I really enjoyed "Kind as a Princess!"
- Yeah. It was such a great book!
- Honestly, acting out the different scenarios
is going to help me to be kind in everyday life.
- Well, that's all the time we have for today.
Thank you so much for reading with us!
I'm Angela.
- I'm Elena
- And I'm Briella.
Until next time.
- [All] Bippity Boppity Bye!
