Kindest Kid in the World, Smiling Iona

By Jessie Hansen

In the newest addition to the Kindest Kid in the World series, meet Iona-a bright and compassionate kid from New Hampshire whose smile spreads kindness wherever she goes. In Smiling Iona, Iona shows that a simple smile, paired with a caring heart, can make people feel seen, welcomed, and valued.

Iona makes it her mission to ensure everyone feels included and supported. She looks for ways to serve her community and is always willing to help at school and at home. Through her kind words, thoughtful actions, and natural leadership, Iona lifts others up and inspires those around her to do the same. Her dedication to kindness and service even earned her recognition from the Governor of New Hampshire for her leadership.

Smiling Iona is a heartwarming celebration of kindness, service, and young leadership. Iona's story reminds readers that true leaders lead with joy, compassion, and courage. We need kind leaders like Iona. Nominate a kind kid you know anywhere in the world at kindestkidintheworld.org and help us continue spreading kindness, one inspiring story at a time.
