Kirkus Reviews

“An uplifting book about how to show kindness through abundant giving. . . . Kiko’s gentle adventures encourage children to think of others’ needs and feelings. . . . Lyles’ colorful, collagelike illustrations are as inviting and charming as Kiko’s narration. . . . This positive, diverse book about kindness can be used in a variety of teaching and learning spaces.”—Kirkus Reviews
