This book is lovely with brief moments of short text, followed by pages of illustrations acting out the ways to be kind. The focus is on little everyday things one can do (smile, share, clean up, etc.) to be kind, making this both accessible and a calm read. The illustrations are charming, mostly graphite with small bursts of color. I highly recommend this book, for it is easily digestible and also a great tool for teaching about behavior.

Cute and adorable, well-thought-out illustrations. Very few words. Demonstrates kindness and how easy it is to perform small acts of kindness. Also, highlights a follow-the-leader or lead-by-example concept. The only detracting factor appears to be an e-book formatting error in which each illustration appears cut in half on each page. I took a star away for the formatting. Target audience appears to be children.

Adorable and sweet! I love this book and think it is great to share with any age! A little kindness is always needed!

Cute and simplistic. Just a little book reminding all of us of the simplicity of being kind, with adorable illustrations of a little pig doing each of the acts of kindness.

This is an absolutely adorable book for young children.  It gently, sweetly and humorously illustrates ways to be kind.  The illustrations are delightful, to the muted side but in a good way.  Highly recommended!


Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this read in exchange for an honest review.

A book about kindness...who doesn’t love that! What a sweet book, very easy to read and quick. This would be a great book for kids who like to read tons of books before bed. The illustrations were gorgeous. I wish it had a little more text to it, but overall such a cute story.

Thanks to Netgalley for this ARC copy in exchange for my honest review.

This is a lovely book about kindness, but it doesn't bring anything new. The illustrations are really cute, though! I could easily imagine reading this with really young kids, as an introduction to good values and friendship.

A cute little and quick read that lived to its expectations, that means leaving you with a smile and a feeling of hope.

It’s easy to be kind. Such a great read given the current new normal. My kids love this one and for my piggy obsessed daughter it was definitely a winner!

Cute, simple, I’ve seen others do it better with similar content but there isn’t anything glaringly bad about this one either. I just read a lot of kid’s books. ‘

Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I stumbled upon this book and read it tonight. It's a beautiful book with a big message: Be kind! And the kindness the author is talking about is beautifully pictured as small acts like saying Thank You! I loved the style, the illustration was pretty easy to follow for children who can't read. Also the sentences were short, simple and nice

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This is a very beautifully illustrated book that shows both children and adults (who I find so very often, that could do with reminding of this -adults that is not children), ways to show kindness towards others, each other and the world and planet we live in/on.
Each page is easy to understand through both the small annotation and beautiful drawing.
I will be grabbing a paper copy of this as soon as it is released!

This is a cute little book that offers kids ideas on what it means to be kind. It's really a simple concept that more people should use. The illustrations are simple and appealing to children. The illustrations tell the story as there are few words. There are few words but it works and kids and adults will understand. As they say a picture is worth a 1,000 words.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book for my honest opinion!

This book is a perfect book for kids to learn about kindness. Not only does it have practical ideas, the pictures modeling how to be kind are absolutely adorable. This book is bound to become an definite favorite both at home and in the classroom.

This is such a cute book! The message is one that’s really needed in today’s society. Teaching children to be kind is the greatest gift you can give them. Treat others how you want to be treated and always be respectful of everyone else’s opinions.

The art is cute and perfect for children. It properly demonstrates how to be kind and how kindness can help you as well as everyone around you.

Little Book of Kindness
by Francesco Pirrone
4/5 stars.

This is a short book with a big message; kindness can be displayed through small acts i.e. sharing, offering a smile and saying thank-you but “when you are kind… others are kind too”. This message is conveyed through beautiful illustrations which I felt were perfect for the intended target audience!

This is a short book with beautiful illustrations with the power of making the reader smile regardless of their age!
The advice given are helpful for kids and parents without being didactic and I believe it would attract the attention of young readers quite well with its set of characters and illustrations!

This is a simple book but it made me smile. The line drawings are not complicated but they are cute. Appropriate. They give readers and young listeners much to talk about. Children could make up their own stories from the drawings. I liked this book very much.

The beauty of this book is in its simple, but powerful reminder. If you need a (literal) little dose of kindness, this is the book to make that happen. I loved the simple, yet impactful illustrations. The colors are minimal, but they accent the message just perfectly. Being kind is something so simple to do, and this is the reminder of some of those simple gestures that can change a day. Sometimes you just need a book that makes you smile and feel warm fuzzies, and this is exactly that.

I requested and received an e-ARC of this book from NetGalley and Clavis Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

The illustrations and sentiment expressed in this book are awesome. It is a great reminder that kindness comes in many forms and we should all strive to be kinder.
