annabannana 's review for:
Each Kindness
by Jacqueline Woodson
This is a powerful, emotional story. Should be read together with the child for their first reading, so you can discuss it. Be prepared for strong emotions and be sure to leave time for the follow-up discussion. There were many tears (I hadn't expected this level of reaction) when I read this to my 6 year old.
This story does actually make me angry at the teachers/school staff for allowing the portrayed situation to continue. The teacher does finally step in, but does so inappropriately late. That creates a powerful story, but is by itself upsetting if you examine the adults' responsibilities to the children.
