Be Kind by Pat Zietlow Miller
5.0
Oh, children's picture books that manage to convey a message, while telling a story that doesn't go overboard with repetition and words, while also blending perfectly with beautiful, whimsical images - they are just such treasures.
This is the case with Be Kind, which my co-worker and I flipped through and read last Friday morning, and it brought tears to our eyes. How's that for packing a powerful literary punch? The message is simple - be kind, of course - but it's the notion of how one can practice the little everyday kindnesses that add up to be much more.
Beautiful, wonderful, and delivers a powerful message about empathy. Also, I love, love, love children's books that use less wording and more pictures - such a beautiful balance that proves it is indeed an art form.
