K-Gr 2–It’s never too early to start conversations about character and ethics. Each title in this series defines its unique characteristic in simple, clear prose. Positivity is consistently expressed throughout, as the volumes present realistic and achievable ways that readers can become their best selves, and the benefits they will derive by striving to do so. New vocabulary is boldfaced and defined in the glossary. Graphics are cheery, in keeping with the series’ upbeat outlook, and feature racially and ethnically diverse children. The Kind volume depicts a boy in a wheelchair. Back matter includes a glossary, a content quiz, a bibliography, a link to online content, and an index.
VERDICT Highly recommended for schools and public libraries.
