How does being kind to others make you feel?
What sort of things are you grateful for?
Chloe is going on a farm trip with her class but her day does not start off well. First she can't find her Foxy toy to take with her and then she learns that her best friend Charlie is too poorly to join her. All this makes Chloe feel grumpy as she sits with Charlie's mum who gives Chloe a Boomerang gift from Charlie, "The best gifts in life are done from the heart. And they always come back, just like this boomerang" Chloe and all her friends through out the day, offer kindness to one another and at the end of the day, the boomerang is past around as each child voices what they are grateful for.
This is the second book in the Let's Talk" series and it is just as wonderful and important as the first. These books are a fantastic way to show children how understanding emotions and acts of kindness and gratitude help then learn these mean, how they effect themselves and there as they are given and received. The author has written a book so beautifully and sweetly that it is not just a story, but a tool, a resource to navigate the world around them. It highlights how simple words of kindness can make a difference and the many different and simple ways of being kind. They way the children have been portrayed in the story is wonderful, it is their words that make this book relatable, meaningful to the reader. Teaching gratitude is tricky, but the examples here are fabulous, and the way the boomerang has been used is such a super idea.The illustrations are gorgeously bright and engaging.
