This is a smaller version of the 8"x8" art piece.

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.

By bringing home this artwork, you are not only celebrating a child’s tender vision of kindness but also helping to nurture futures filled with gratitude, generosity, and love.
