In a world that can seem confusing and unfair, teaching children to do the right thing at an early age will shape them for years to come.

Therefore, if we take the time to have open conversations about character and give gentle encouragement, our children will come to see each person as a fellow traveler in life, worthy of dignity and respect.

And so, one beloved broadcaster and a baseball icon from the Twin Cities have teamed up to hit the ultimate home run, to inspire young hearts toward compassion, humility, and empathy and teaching them to spread kindness along their path. ✨

Emmy Award-Winning Broadcaster, KSTP Sports Director, & Children’s Author, Joe Schmit, joins our John Masiulionis and Little Forrest on Episode #216 of PR From The Heart’s Children’s Books Spotlight Series to share the release of his new children’s book, The Right Thing to Do: The Joe Mauer Story (published by Wise Ink Creative Publishing), Joe Mauer’s inspiring journey from child prodigy to MLB Superstar to Hall of Famer, how he leveraged his career in broadcasting to make a difference in people’s lives, the lasting impact that small gestures of kindness can have on children and adults like, plus much more. ⚾
