Grow Kind is another title published in conjunction with the American Psychological Association. These books address issues and subjects that will lead to positive growth for children.
In this title, that is colorfully and very cheerfully illustrated, a young girl learns about being kind to others. This is shown is several ways; there is allowing her older sister to sleep late, picking the bounty from a garden and sharing it with neighbors and classmates. The protagonist also gives food to someone who is standing by the road and is hungry.
As always, the story is followed by sections for adults that further enhance the lesson of the story and that help those who interact with children to understand their needs. I found this title to be another good entry in a good series.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest
review.

Tove wrote letters, lots of letters. They were to family, friends, readers and more. Of these the editors include 160 written between 1932 and 1988. Each section of the book begins with an introduction that helps to place the letters in context. For example, in letters to family, it is noted that Tove left Helsinki to study in Stockholm and also spent time in Paris and Italy. The book includes photographs of Tove and those to whom she wrote. There are also drawings, as for instance, a map of a Paris neighborhood, an outfit that Tove wore or some of her art.
Some excellent choices if you have time to read after all of your shopping.
