Be Kind by Pat Zietlow Miller

5.0

This picture book was written for young elementary school readers around the ages of 4-6 it uses illustrations to depict the different scenes and people that make up the story. The main see's that one of her classmates has had an accident with food at school, she is laughed at by the class but the main character knows that is not nice. The story is a compilation of what she defines and feels like being nice is. This book deserved a perfect rating because of the way it conveys the very important theme of kindness and how children might be able to observe it. The author uses different races and ethnicities for all the characters within the story to ensure representation in the book. This ensures children see themselves in the book, and can further connect with the message it is attempting to portray. The way the story is written allows for a very relatable voice and character that young readers can agree with. Kindness a very foundational characteristic all children should be able to understand and present in their own lives.
