In this story, Kiko has an abundance of produce from her garden, and during the course of a day, she gets opportunity to share it with her sister, her parents, her neighbors (even one who is a little grumpy!), her friends and teachers, and a complete stranger. At the end of the day, she writes in her journal about how the day has helped her to "grow kind."
This story for children is very basic at first glance, but the endnotes for parents amplify the message and do a fantastic job explaining how children can gradually learn to think about other people's needs. It also provides suggestions for how to incorporate empathy into real-life situations as well as play. An excellent message in an enjoyably small package.

I read the ARC, provided by Netgalley in exchange for honest review
I love the book, the simple heartwarming story, and it come with good illustration.
The story is about Kiko, a girl who love gardening. She has a dog name Chico and sister named Annie. She is happy because her plants are ready to reap. She want to share it with her friends, family, and other people as well.
With this book, author is hoping can help parents to teach about sharing and emphaty.

"When children act in ways that are not kind, what's the best way for adults to respond?
It may be helpful to communicate concern about the person who was harmed. For example, 'When you threw that block at Matthew he looked scared. Let's go check on him to see if he's ok.'
This response will likely be more helpful than punishing the block thrower, because expressing concern for the other child facilitates perspective-taking and provides an opportunity to heal the relationship."

I received this ebook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is an adorable book about a girl growing things in her garden and sharing it with her community, the homeless, and her classmates so that she can be kind and make others happy by letting them enjoy what she has. The illustrations are really well done and vibrant.

3,5/5. Strong positive message which I always like in children book but it's a bit to idealistic here. Helping everyone and everyone being happy and perfectly please by what you do... the message is great, just seem push to the extreme a little too far for me!
