I believe this book is best intended for upper elementary. This book contains a lot of history and content that I think lower elementary grades would have a hard time understanding. This book allows us to discuss when the world seems bleak, prejudice, and racist. It discusses advocates for social justice and basic human rights.

This book contains an amazing collection of social justice poetry and prose for children. They have gathered thirty authors and nearly that many illustrators for each double-page piece to give those words of inspiration and love and hope. stories within the book are compelling and encouraging. There is an ongoing theme of justice and unconditional love.

“Each morning when you walk out the door, I want you to ask yourselves- What choice am I going to make today? I want that choice to be kindness.“

I would use this poem in my classroom with elementary students as a way to expose them to poetry aspects within letters. I would also mainly use this poem as a way to convey and expand upon this hopeful and genuine message of kindness. Ask students what being kind looks like, feels like, or sounds like. Encourage students to use literature to teach themselves and others important messages.

“Kindness Is a Choice“ is a beautifully written poem/letter from a mother to her children urging them to be kind. This poem has hints of rhyming within it and carries a slow, soothing rhythm. When I read this poem, I feel a sense of comfort and hope with how the mother conveys her message of kindness to her children. It inspires me to not only follow this message of kindness, but urge others to do the same.

“ please read this poem with your own power and love/ and smile and reread and nod and be angry with resolve..“ This quote describes the premise of this book really well.

A diverse group of picture book and middle grade authors share brief essays and poems of encouragement. This wasn‘t quite what I expected but I think it would be beneficial to kids finding the world a confusing or scary place right now.

Perfect for middle graders and adults who live or work with kids, this book has genuinely excellent advice for anyone, especially kids, struggling with the political climate these days. Practical advice and words we just need to hear sometimes all put together in an incredibly artful way. Highly recommended.

If you need a book to get you through #24in48 I suggest this one! The listening experience is unmatched! Listen and enjoy it (but it‘s not a comforting read. I cried. And maybe growled a little.) #weneeddiversebooks @24in48

This is definitely intended for children, which I don‘t know that I fully realized going in. It‘s a nice short audio listen, and it is Beautiful, heartbreaking and inspiring all at once. I think I may listen to it again with my girls.

This is a great audio book to support and promote love and tolerance in children. Poems, essays, and songs. It is only 2 hours long. If you are driving kids to school or ball games, this is a wonderful way to address the societal fear of today in a positive way. A very diverse group of authors.
