The Cool Bean by Jory John

4.0

This is by far the most successful book in this series to me. It has all the fun elements of the other stories - the word play, the cute illustrations- but also the message is MUCH clearer.
Being cool means being compassionate, being thoughtful, being a good friend to others. The main character might not be a "cool bean" in the traditional sense but he is cool in that he gives the kindness and compassion he receives from others.
