Thank you for the ARC. What an incredible story. This is one I will buy to read to my toddler when he can better understand. Being kind is so important, now more than ever. Such a wonderful message. Takes the same or even less effort to be kind than to be mad and mean. The illustrations and rhymes were fabulous. Such a great book!

What If We Were All Kind by C.M. Harris is a delightful book that rhymes. This book invites you to talk about kindness in school, at home and in your community. I love the idea that kindness can blossom everywhere if we all show we care. The book offers simples ideas that you can help a young scholar implement. An example, is if you see someone sitting alone you can invite them into your friend zone. At the end of the book, you will find a set of discussion questions which are great for prompting conversations. Thanks for the early eARC. I enjoyed reading it.

I tell people all the time that I get paid exactly the same whether I'm mean or nice,so why shouldn't I be nice? This cute picture book has this positive attitude and it would be a great conversation starter at home and in the classroom so kids can make different choices in a nonjudgmental setting. How could you have done this differently? What are some other ways to be nice?
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

I love the message of being kind and the impact it can have on those around us. Great examples of different situations that require kindness (siblings). Illustrations are beautifully done. Appreciate the inclusion of discussion questions at the end of the book.

It's a very sweet book and I love the message. I'm not a huge fan on the illustration style but that is my own personal preference.

Great message. Easy way to teach younger students about kindness. The pictures were very on theme as well. Great job!

This was such an uplifting read with a powerful message that truly inspires. I love that the vibrant illustrations celebrate diversity and inclusivity, featuring children of all abilities. My daughter was captivated by the stunning, colorful artwork!

A beautiful book on importance of being kind every single day, with all who we meet, at home and outside. Kindness knows no borders and is more essential when some one is feeling lonely, someone is different from others. With lines that rhyme and lovely illustrations, this is a beautiful read on an important trait that alone can keep the world going - on kindness, to other human beings, animals and nature. Loved it.

A delightful and engaging rhyming book by C.M. Harris with beautiful, expressive and colorful illustrations by Vitor Lopes! There are a lot of details in the illustrations for the kids to recognise; along with discussion questions at the back!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The rhyming in this was good and it had a really nice flow when reading out loud which is so important because I think for the age this is aimed at thats how it will be read

Only deducting a star because it says there is no need for any "negative" emotions which I don't personally agree with

The illustrations were lovely

Nice quick read which means I can get through it all with my nearly 3 year old before he loses attention and there are plenty of things for him to point to in the pictures.
