Therefore, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one.An awesome book cover, great hand-drawn colored pictures, charming illustrations & proper font & writing style. A very professionally written children’s (preschool/elementary age) zoo animal storybook. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters, settings, etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s educational presentation, (kindness/encouragement), movie, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini-TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is an extremely easy rating of 5 stars.Thank you for the free author (s); BookZio; Amazon Digital Services LLC.; bookTony Parsons MSW (Washburn)

Clara is a girl who is inherently sweet. She collects rocks, then paints kind messages on them for any and all who pass to see. She shares love without a second thought.When Sheldon the turtle passes, in a glum mood, Clara's rocks immediately cheer him up. Exactly what they're meant to do. He in turn shares with another animal friend, and that creates a chain reaction. Soon many animals are enjoying Clara's wonderful kindness rocks. There is obviously more to this story and more kindness to share, but I'll let you read it from Sonica herself.Between Clara's unyielding compassion and Sheldon's continuation of caring, this book just exudes kindness from every page. If only everyone could be like these characters...

I love reading this book to my students and allowing them to decorate their own "kindness rocks".

This is our third book and we have yet to be anything but blown away from the great messages, fun illustrations, and relatability for children.

Cute story to read and interact with kids. I liked the turtle interaction with other characters. Good family story for all

Sonnie's book is about spreading kindness. There is no expectation of return. In sweet, simple prose, readers will learn of how one little girl brings happiness to others. And her actions inspire others to do the same.The lovely illustrations invite us in and the message challenges us to spread kindness in our own communities.

Always a lesson for children in Sonica Ellis book I highly recommend them for all parents to read for their children. In this one the child will learn two lesson, first what kindness can do for every creature on this Earth, either as the giver or reciever. And second, how to play it foward, in kindness and all other good things in life. Wounderful illustrations in the book also. This gets five stars and if there were more than five available it would get all those too.

Cute story. Bought for six year old nieces. Good quality. Well illustrated.
