PreS-Gr 1–“There are so many things that I like about you./ Not just who you are, but the things that you do.” This positive proclamation of friendship invites young listeners to lean in, where a soccer team of players with skin colors from dark brown to very pale congratulate one another on a good game. Another scene takes place in a diversely populated classroom where three children build with blocks; one child has an arm in a cast and the others help.
VERDICT The generous attitudes and reinforcing rhymes will rally children up through early elementary years to get involved, stay kind, and to tune in to the needs of others.
