Wallace's art is wonderful: fancy- and found-paper collage, markers
and pencil make Minna's bunny family and classroom glow with
pattern and shape. The text in this one, though, is a little goopy.
Minna's teacher reads them the Aesop fable of the Lion and the
Mouse (the essence of which is recounted and illustrated). The
class decides to practice kindness, and Mrs. Bloom says they will
celebrate with a "Kindness Project." Minna finds kindness in her
family's helping in Community Clean-Up Day, in sharing soup with a
neighboring family, in reading to her little brother. She makes a
series of pictures about these acts and pieces them together. Mrs.
Bloom puts all of the class's pictures of kindness on the bulletin
board and makes a kindness quilt, which grows and grows. The
philosophy gets a little slippery, too: Is it kindness to do your
chores without being asked? If you do a kind thing so you can make
a picture of it, is it still kind? Possibly too much burden for a
pretty package. (Picture book. 4-7) (Kirkus Reviews)
Random acts of kindness pictured on a paper quiltMinna and her
classmates have been asked by their teacher, Mrs. Bloom, to work on
a Kindness Project. Mrs. Bloom wants them to do and draw and share
an act of kindness. Minna and her family do lots of kind things,
but Minna can't decide which one is right for her project. Then she
starts writing and drawing and cutting--and an idea for a paper
quilt picturing many acts of kindness begins to take shape
Important lessons about being kind to each other are depicted in
NANCY ELIZABETH WALLACE's charming artwork using origami, recycled
paper, markers, crayons, and colored pencils.
