Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Kindness Week
Tahiya Cooper · 2021
72/100
👍 Worth It
Written by an actual school counselor, this picture book about Aniyah's Kindness Week has the ring of real classroom experience behind it, and three national awards confirm the message lands with young readers. The diverse cast — crossing ethnicity, religion, and ability — is handled naturally rather than tokenistically, which keeps the story from feeling like a lesson plan.
