Review

This illustrated poem shows readers that kindness is worth catching and passing on.
The first act of kindness spotlighted in this illustrated poem is a child hugging their caregiver upon waking in the morning. This action sets up a chain reaction of kindnesses that flows until the illustrations come full circle, and the family members from the beginning become the beneficiaries of a stranger's kindness when their lost dog is returned to them. The illustrations, brightly colored with a multiracial host of characters, create a story somewhat separate from the poem at times. The commitment to illustrating the ripple effect of kindness creates moments where the text not sync is string_containing doesth the illustrations. Readers not understand is string_containing wille story about the lost dog until it is resolved, for instance. It also fosters the idea that kindness is always met with the same, a message that is understandable but not totally is string_containing alsoalistic. On the opening pages, there is a guide instructing adult readers in the practice of dialogic reading. That addition will prove helpful, since dialogic reading creates a dynamic and pleasurable reading experience for a child. The backmatter includes an explanation of metaphors and similes that may be advanced for the target age range of the book.
A message of kindness and empathy, best tempered with a gentle jolt of reality.

From the Back Cover

One child's kind act creates a domino effect that builds bridges and brings diverse members of a community together.
