Description
PreS-Gr 2—Miller explores the topic of kindness through the story of a child pondering how to
respond when a friend spills grape juice on herself. In the language of a child's thoughts, Miller
provides examples of kindness (giving, helping, paying attention), and acknowledges that it is not
always easy to be kind, especially when others aren't. Miller helps bring this abstract concept into
concrete terms of children's lives. The illustrations are gentle and effective. The children's faces
are expressive, and thick brushstrokes and watercolor add texture and depth to the pages. The
color purple receives extra attention, but is well balanced with other colors and white space. The
book presents the powerful message that small acts of kindness matter, and that they can build
with other acts of kindness to make a difference. This is adeptly illustrated with vignettes
representing kindness circling the globe, coming full circle to the schoolyard where the protagonist
gives Tanisha a purple watercolor picture. While the protagonist could not fix the problem, the act
of kindness still made a difference. VERDICT Books about kindness are frequently requested in
public and school libraries alike. This title is a valuable addition on this topic and will promote
conversation about what it means to be kind.—Clara Hendricks, Cambridge Public Library, MA

starred review“The precisely worded, hopeful text offers ideas to ponder, while the artwork
places them within kidfriendly contexts, such as a multiracial classroom and a neighborhood park.
Nicely designed for drawing out childrenâ€s ideas and opening a discussion on kindness, this
picture book works well one-on-one or read aloud in a classroom, for the expressive pictures are
still effective from a distance. A thoughtful picture book.― ―Booklist“This picture book
champions interpersonal kindness both globally and in a young child's town . . . The story gives
children many concrete ideas of actionable kind deeds.― ―Kirkus Reviews“The book
