This was cute but the animals should have given bear a chance from the beginning and not simply accept him after “proving himself” to be kind.

Sweet main characters and illustrations, but too wordy and meandering for my taste.

What a wonderful story about kindness. Sometimes people don't want your kindness. It's sad but true. Coco is an African American girl who helps her friend the bear. There are two projects that take place in this story. It would be an opportunity to get creative with your young reader(s).

This is such a sweet book. The illustrations are gorgeous and I love the storytelling as well. This is a beautiful book with a big heart!

This will be a book I add to my gift giving roster.

I have a small collection of children's picture books (I end up buying one every couple of years) for whenever I spot one with artwork that I love. I grabbed one of these since I was able to get it for $7.99 rather than the $17.99 list price, and it turned out to be an adorable holiday read. My only complaint is that it gets borderline preachy and isn't super original compared to some of the others in my collection, but it's nonetheless a perfect book to gift for the holidays!

I read this book to students and the message was felt. The students empathized with the bear and wanted him to be able to make friends. The illustrations and words compelled the readers attention. The message was not lost on this audience.

I just purchased this book for my cousin's little one. This book is super cute and has a very good message about kindness and how it's something that you just do and don't expect anything in return. The art goes super well with the story. Overall just a fantastic little book and I will certainly be keeping an eye out for more of this authors work!
