Evaluation comments:
“This book is educational in the areas of early literacy and social-emotional development.”
“I like that the book is filled with examples of expressions of kindness such as: “We can share,” “You go first,” and “I like you” etc.”
“I really like that illustrations are inclusive of ethnicities and abilities.”
“There are “Reader’s notes” at the end that discuss how parents can go through the book and find examples of the book’s characters being kind such as helping one another, giving a compliment etc. Activities such as going on a nature kindness walk to look at the beauty in our surroundings or a literary kindness walk such as noticing kindness in books or stories are suggested. Great ideas.”
