Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Trauma Llama and the Kindness Rally
Susurrus Kindness Rally · 2025
72/100
👍 Worth It
The Apology Circle at the heart of this story is a smart move — it gives kids a concrete picture of what accountability and restoration actually look like, not just a vague 'be kind' message. The anti-bullying framing is age-appropriate and resolution-focused throughout, and the SEL series pedigree suggests the publisher knows this audience well. Too new to have a real review record, but the concept is strong enough to recommend with confidence.
