Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
How To Be Kind
Michael Gordon · 2023
65/100
👎 Skip It
Sweet and simple, and it gives a young child an actual script for stepping in when someone's being teased — that's worth something. But it's a brief picture book that wraps its conflict up a little too neatly, and there isn't much here for a family wanting real depth or repeat reads. Fine for the shelf, not a must-buy.
