My review:
A wonderful man has shared a gift with the town of Upton in hopes it will revamp the town and bring the community together.
What I loved:
~ how most of the town thought about what they could do with their gift to help others, not just themselves
~ the ideas they had were a great way to bring the residents together
~ the acorn phase facts accompanied by the growth chart is a great learning moment
~ how one person’s kindness can be the start of something positive for so many
~ the questions the author poses at the end to get young readers thinking about what they can do to spread kindness and help others is a nice touch to promote family discussions
~ the illustrations by Rhiannon Thomas do a nice job of showing the town thriving, then decrepit and back to thriving again
I thought it was a good idea to include one ‘bad seed’ family to show that everything in life is not always positive, but it’s what you can do on your own to try to make a difference.
A lovely little story perfect for young readers ages 3-8.
