Share Some Kindness, Bring Some Light
by Apryl Stott
Flap Copy Description:
Bear is sad.
All the other animals think he's mean because he's so big. But his human friend, Coco, offers to help him. Coco shares her grandmother's advice:
"When life gets dark as winter's night, share some kindness, bring some light."
They decide to bake cookies to "share some kindness" and make lanterns to "bring some light." But when the cookies and lanterns don't work, they must look for another way to win over the other animals. And while they're at it, Coco and Bear just might discover that kindness is a gift that only comes from the heart.
My Thoughts:
This debut picture book by author/illustrator Apryl Stott is stunning! I especially enjoyed seeing each of the forest creatures brought to life: a badger, hedgehog, deer, and of course, a bear. The colors Ms. Stott employed in illustrating her book make it perfect for any winter holiday, including Valentine's Day! The enchanting artwork in Share Some Kindness, Bring Some Light is only surpassed by the book's much-needed message. I highly recommend this picture book for children aged four and up!
