It’s Cool To Be Kind by Shermaine Perry-Knights – Review by Jennifer Crain

It’s Cool To Be Kind: A Children’s Book on Kindness and Friendship by Shermaine Perry-Knights
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

From the outset, the storyline draws readers in with its playful tone and relatable characters. Max, Michael, and Martin embark on a journey that illustrates how acts of kindness—whether it’s helping out at home or making new friends—can transform their world and the world of those around them. Perry’s uncomplicated prose makes it easy for young readers to grasp the concept of kindness, while the playful adventures of the characters offer moments of excitement and laughter that keep them engaged.

The illustrations complement Perry’s narrative beautifully, adding an extra layer of engagement for young readers. Colorful and inviting artwork is crucial in children’s literature, and it would be expected that the visuals aid in translating the warmth and playful spirit of the story.
