Critics Review
Praise for Twelve Days of Kindness:
“Looking for an original sing-along with a familiar tune? “The Twelve Days of Christmas” turns into a dozen kindnesses that kids can practice every day… The rhyming text reinforces the lyrical pace, and children will quickly pick up the words as they add on each kindness and repeat the others … The imaginative details, illustrated warmly in watercolor, colored pencil, oil, and gouache, show children making valentines, taking out trash, finding treasures in nature, thanking community helpers, and enjoying family time. Use this for Thanksgiving or any time when kindness is a theme to elicit warm responses.” —Booklist
