When We Are Kind Tekijä: Monique Gray Smith

This is a lovely, heart warming book for young children that I would highly recommend!

This is a story about being kind, and it features Indigenous children in it. It's great to see more diversity in children's books, especially with a book that displays it in such a great way. Showing that kindness is important and can be shown in many ways is a lovely message and theme for the book.

Five out of five stars.
