Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
In the fifth entry in the author's What Does It Mean... series, DiOrio begins by contemplating-somewhat obscurely-what kindness is not: "Does it mean paying with something other than money? No. Does it mean being `sort of' something? No!" On the other hand, examples of kind acts, which constitute the rest of the book, are clear and conventional: "Being kind means... smiling at the new student in the class... giving someone a compliment... holding the door open for someone else... sticking up for someone who is being bullied." Jorisch (the Betty Bunny series) presents a multicultural cast of lean-bodied children supporting and caring for one another, demonstrating patience and forgiveness. It's a sweet and non-judgmental affirmation about the happy returns that come through kind actions. Ages 4-8. (Aug.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
