Critical Reviews
"A sweet invitation to link the two meanings of the titular word. ... Picture books about kindness abound, but as they tend to focus exclusively on being kind to other people, the even more inclusive slant here offers a salutary broadening of perspective. ... Lovely in both message and pictures."
-- Kirkus Reviews "Visually stunning, poetic, and informative ..."
-- Lil Reader That Could "[A] book that belongs in every classroom library. It is a beautiful and inspiring book that teaches children about the diversity and wonder of life on Earth."
-- Little Cub Literacy "Detailed, colorful illustrations showing a variety of creatures, from vibrant fish to playful penguins, will wow readers of all ages."
-- Children's Literature Comprehensive Database "In addition to appreciating the biodiversity of life around us, this book shares a great SEL message. It reminds us to treat those that live around us - no matter how they look or sound, no matter how many legs or wings they have - with kindness. And it does all of that using lovely, lyrical language."
-- Archimedes Notebook "The structure of this book is superb, with each spread featuring a poem and realistic illustrations of different creatures that fit the poem. Because of its clear purpose and structure, it is a perfect mentor text for a cross-curricular activity with writing, poetry, and science!"
-- Unleashing Readers "This is an amazing book ... I love the rhyming words and the cute illustrations that show the wide differences there are in the animal kingdom."
