Most People by Michael Leannah

While I appreciate the intent to, as Mr. Rogers suggested, focus on the "helpers," I really did not like the emphasis on good v. bad. Even for little children, there is no need to set things up with such a binary lens. The statements that someone being grumpy is like a "sour grape" and that everyone "looks better" when they are smiling and happy (who cares what they look like for other people?) imply that being grumpy is bad and that showing your grumpiness makes you look ugly; this is a terrible message to give to children. I also did not like the statement that "people who do bad things can change." It would have been better to say "most people who do bad things can change." Some people's "seed of goodness" is never going to sprout no matter what. The visual of "people who want to be good" forming a line up to the tallest mountain and "people who want to be bad" crowding together in a dark and gloomy room is just baseless. I did appreciate the diversity of "good" people shown (including, among various ethnicities/implied family structures/ability, the person with spiked blue hair and the motorcycle guy). Good idea; poor execution. Not recommended.
