Looking for a new children’s book to get your young ones for Valentine’s Day? Our school librarian ALWAYS has her eye out for engaging stories that have a moral or a point to them, and this one passed my test with flying colors. The bright illustrations and vibrant story kept me, and my children, engaged. I plan on reading it to my entire school next month! Kindness is Cooler, Mrs. Ruler, written by Margery Cuyler and illustrated by Sachiko Yoshikawa, is the refreshing story of a kindergarten teacher who embarks on teaching her students the golden rule in a very creative way. Her students eagerly set out to complete 100 acts of kindness, and in doing so, they discover that, “One person, no matter how small, CAN make a difference in the world.” The positive energy in this book is delightful and the message is pure. A little sugary, yes, but much needed in today’s world. The illustrations alone are enough to make young and old smile. I also LOVED that the back of the book lists the children’s 100 acts of kindness that can be used to generate ideas for your own children and family. Here is to inspiring HOPE!!!
