## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some mistakes and lost opportunities cannot be corrected.
*by G***T on August 1, 2016*

Each Kindness a Jane Addams Award Book by Jacqueline Woodson, also was named a 2013 Coretta Scott King Honor Book. This is truly an exceptional book. As I read it goose bumps shivered my arms. E.B. Lewis captured the deep emotion of the story in dreamy water color. The illustrations juxtapose both beauty and heartache because they reveal the children's lack of kindness, their unwelcoming cold shoulder and judgmental rejection of the new girl.One might think this replays the classic story line of the challenge that every "new" kid faces. But it is exceeds that think-how-the-shunned-kid-feels meme as the children rebuff her repeated efforts to break into their circle. Instead, it asks the reader to imagine being the child who chose unkindness, who joined the taunting, who derided and jeered.After the teacher uses a pebble-dropped-in-water to demonstrate how one act ripples in an ever-widening circle, Chloe undergoes a change of heart. She wants to include the outcast girl. She anticipates making amends, only to discover, it is too late.The book ends with the words, Chloe "watched the water ripple as the sun set through the maples and the chance of a kindness with Maya became more and more forever gone." The final illustration shows Chloe in a lush, lovely pond side spot. The beauty contrasts with Chloe's uncomfortable realization that it is too late to make amends for her ugly treatment of Maya. The reader feels the weight of that understanding. There is no and-she became-Maya's-best-friend easy answer.The message is clear. Sometimes, do overs are not possible. Some mistakes and lost opportunities cannot be corrected. Our choices matter. Powerful. True. Important. This book merits every award it won.(Memories of the classic story The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes illustrated by Louis Slobodkin popped to mind, because it deals with a similar story line. Each Kindness makes its point with eloquent brevity and contemporary, visually appealing illustrations.)Adoption-attuned (AQ) Lens: Our kids certainly understand, in a very personal way that choices have permanent consequences. This book can easily open conversations about the decisions made by their birth parents. (Not in terms of a cruelty done to them but with an intent to help kids understand that adoption was in no way their fault but rather is a decision made by adults for very adult reasons.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Read for Young Students
*by M***R on August 11, 2022*

“Each Kindness” written by Jacqueline Woodson and illustrated by E. B. Lewis is a phenomenal realistic fiction picturebook that created a powerful message that will stay with any person after reading. This book is about a young girl, Maya, who is the new girl to a school. She is different than the other students and they all see her as being weird. The other students say mean things about her, won’t play with her, or even look at her. Maya stops coming to school and the children learn a lesson from their teacher that every act of kindness is like a ripple that continues to flow out. After learning this, Chloe can’t wait for Maya to come back to school to show her kindness. However, Maya never returns. This book is great in showing children a realistic way in which they can show kindness towards their peers. It is told from the perspective of an elementary school student that helps children that are around that age relate to the story. The author of this novel is African American and the main character, Chloe, appears to be African American, as well. This aspect helps this book relate to a wider range of ethnicities because it includes more than just white children.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review from Books That Heal Kids
*by B***S on October 9, 2012*

As an elementary school counselor I could not be more OVERJOYED to have discovered this amazing teaching tool. It tackles bullying, friendship, rejection, kindness, empathy, bystanders and so much more. This is going to be one of the most important books I read to students this year. It will definitely be one of my favorites. If you are an educator it is a MUST for your bookshelf.This is a powerful story PACKED FULL of life lessons. A new student Maya is treated horribly by her classmates. She tries making friends with the other students but is rejected and becomes a target because of her economic status. Students will feel sadness as you read this story - because they will be filled with an overwhelming empathy for Maya. In the end, we never know the full damage that may have been caused to Maya because she moves. We can surely guess though. However, it's Chloe who teaches us the lesson. She had shunned Maya but is filled with guilt, remorse, and emotional pain as she becomes aware of her own hurtful behavior. She is never able to make amends. I cannot wait for the discussion this will create. If we can teach our children to live their lives in complete kindness - hopefully they will not have to learn this lesson the hard way.
