This is a cute and easy read to introduce children to what it means to be an ally.
The illustrations are easy to understand and adds to the words on the page, so even little ones can follow along.
I understand that this is for children, but I would have loved to have seen more on the emotional side. Maybe a scene where Joy is speaking to her brother and mainly asks if he is okay, maybe he could explain a little about how he feels. Even if it's something simple like 'the bullies make me feel sad. But the support of allies make me feel a little better.'
Overall, a really cute book with a good message behind it
