Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Searching for Kindness
Linda Mason · 2021
58/100
👎 Skip It
A 2021 Christmas picture book following a character named Roamy on a quest for Kindness, with rhyming songs and a warm seasonal message — described by one reviewer as uplifting and thought-provoking. The independent critical coverage is very thin and the appeal is narrowly seasonal, making it hard to recommend over better-documented holiday titles. A pleasant enough holiday read-aloud if you find it, but not worth seeking out.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below.
