"Kindness"

Created by Zi Ying Li, age 5, this artwork beautifully captures the joy of giving and receiving kindness. The traditional Chinese calligraphy, paired with a child’s heartfelt drawing of two friends sharing love, reminds us that kindness is both simple and transformative. Through bright colors and smiling faces, Zi Ying illustrates a timeless truth: that gratitude and compassion connect us all, no matter how small the gesture.

This piece is part of the Head Start Art Auction, benefiting a San Francisco nonprofit that serves low-income families with children from three months to five years old. It reflects the spirit of the community Head Start builds every day—one rooted in care, empathy, and mutual support.
