This wordless book is so sweet that I shared it with all of my coworkers! A distraught young woman has lost her dog。 She prints up posters and puts them around her neighborhood。 Pay attention to the illustrations - one small act of kindness leads to another。 And another!

Shani

One good deed leads to another。 A fun read with no text。 The illustrations vividly narrate the story。

Uplifting Bumping up my rating on re-read as I noticed the deliberate use and significance of red colour, it's a beacon of hope and kindness that gets passed on。 Major love for Slovenian award winning artist and illustrator Marta Bartolj。 Uplifting Bumping up my rating on re-read as I noticed the deliberate use and significance of red colour, it's a beacon of hope and kindness that gets passed on。 Major love for Slovenian award winning artist and illustrator Marta Bartolj。 。。。more

I love how wordless books can convey so much emotion through illustrations。

Bethe

5 stars。 Lovely wordless pb that follows a simple act of kindness as it flows throughout the day。 Attentive readers will follow the color red to the happy ending (altho I’m wondering about the very last page) Great use of color, love the illustrations and acts of kindness。

Ms Threlkeld

Sweet wordless picture book about small acts of kindness having a big impact。

Candice

This book was so sweet and inspiring。 Definitely bringing this kindness energy into the new year。

Jessie

Passing on of kindnesses, but with the people who see one kindness continuing the chain。 Most of each illustration is black & white, but they use red to highlight the kindnesses。

Ashley Ewert

Loved the illustrations and rich story that was told without a single word。 You could feel all the emotions with each page turn。

Peacegal

Compassion is contagious! This delightful sequential picture book depicts how one act of kindness becomes a chain reaction--inspiring each person who sees it to do their own good deed。 A great addition to any humane education collection!

Edie

A wordless picture book that shows how one random act can reverberate throughout a community。Many of the acts involve children。 Subdued colors give a quiet background to the kind act which is highlighted in red。 A great book to share as a family and talk about each kind act and what it means to those who receive it and observe it。

Jo Oehrlein

Instead of the normal "pass it on" kind of kindness chain, where the recipient of one kindness becomes the benefactor of the next, this shows how people observing a kindness can be influenced to do kind acts。Great use of color in the illustrations to show the people in the kind acts and showing the person who is influenced。 Instead of the normal "pass it on" kind of kindness chain, where the recipient of one kindness becomes the benefactor of the next, this shows how people observing a kindness can be influenced to do kind acts。Great use of color in the illustrations to show the people in the kind acts and showing the person who is influenced。 。。。more

A nice wordless picture book about kindness。 The illustrations are sweet, with muted colors and pops of red to emphasize important characters and details。 Each act of kindness leads to a subsequent act of kindness, and I liked how the story was structured with the lost dog being important at the beginning at the end。 I did have a bit of a struggle with following the thread of the acts of kindness because in many of the pictures you have to look for two important story pieces (one act of kindness A nice wordless picture book about kindness。 The illustrations are sweet, with muted colors and pops of red to emphasize important characters and details。 Each act of kindness leads to a subsequent act of kindness, and I liked how the story was structured with the lost dog being important at the beginning at the end。 I did have a bit of a struggle with following the thread of the acts of kindness because in many of the pictures you have to look for two important story pieces (one act of kindness being delivered, and another set in motion) within the same picture。 My brain got a bit lost at times, but I still enjoyed it a lot--I think it necessitates slower, more focused reads。 。。。more

A look at how one kindness can spread and bless so many lives。

Deb (Readerbuzz) Nance

One act of kindness leads to another act of kindness which leads to another and another and。。。More, more, more! If witnessing someone doing an act of kindness for another person leads to that person doing something kind, just think what effect reading this book might have on the world。

Nessa

In this beautifully illustrated picture book without words, we follow a young lady who lost her dog。 As she walks around town putting up flyers of her missing dog, she spreads love and kindness with her。 Her red glasses and shoes resemble kindness, and as she shows one person kindness it spreads all over the book in the form of the color red!

Namrata Mistry

What goes around comes around, and in the case of this wordless book, it’s those little acts of kindness that spread across town like wildfire :’) Honest, heartfelt, and sincerely powerful!

Michele Knott

A circle story about how kindness can come back to you - every little bit matters in this world!

This is a beautiful and memorable wordless picture book that follows a woman looking for her lost dog, and how all the "little kindnesses" along the way add up to a beautiful neighborhood tapestry of interwoven stories。 It's such a simple thing, and yet powerful。 The neighborhood and its people are transformed by those small acts of kindness, and of course the woman eventually finds her lost dog。 It's a happy ending, but all the more so because of the shared story that got us there。 The illustra This is a beautiful and memorable wordless picture book that follows a woman looking for her lost dog, and how all the "little kindnesses" along the way add up to a beautiful neighborhood tapestry of interwoven stories。 It's such a simple thing, and yet powerful。 The neighborhood and its people are transformed by those small acts of kindness, and of course the woman eventually finds her lost dog。 It's a happy ending, but all the more so because of the shared story that got us there。 The illustrations are wonderful -- all in a simple gray and beige tone except a couple elements in each frame that are colored in bright red。 The red draws your attention to the specific acts of kindness, and makes for an engaging visual story since there are no words。 It doesn't need the words。 Beautifully done, and I think kids will love this one!***Note: I was given a review copy of this book by Chronicle Books。 Opinions are my own。 。。。more

Melanie Dulaney

Wordless picture book with a message of kindness。 Bartolj’s mostly black and white art is detailed, dramatic and seamlessly weaves a tale of passing kindness forward with one small act at a time。 The panels are enough to effectively convey the message but the artist adds just the right touches of red to emphasize those moments of thinking of others。 Terrific choice for collections in elementary libraries, counselors’ offices and art classrooms。 Thanks for providing me with this copy, Chronicle K Wordless picture book with a message of kindness。 Bartolj’s mostly black and white art is detailed, dramatic and seamlessly weaves a tale of passing kindness forward with one small act at a time。 The panels are enough to effectively convey the message but the artist adds just the right touches of red to emphasize those moments of thinking of others。 Terrific choice for collections in elementary libraries, counselors’ offices and art classrooms。 Thanks for providing me with this copy, Chronicle Kids。 。。。more
