The Smiley Girl by Ornella Ngabire (Author), Emmanuel Ndayishimiye (Author)

From Amazon: Cindy; the smiley little girl reminds us through her kindness calendar that we should always be kind to one another. No matter what life throws at us, we always have the power to choose how we will react. When we do something kind, we help fill someone else’s bucket.

My Review: Kindness Matters! What a great children’s book and subject to write about. I loved the way this little girl decided to be positive and create a “Kindness Calendar” so that she could document kind things she could do, and did do. Cindy is the little girl and she proves kindness can be done anywhere and always for free. Children are encouraged to show and be kind to others and many examples are provided. Five huge stars!

From Amazon:

Stories of Fantasy:
A snake changes the fate of the world.
A slot machine decides who wins and who loses
Broken toys get revenge on a little girl
A Hungarian fairy dances men to death.

My Review: I’ve had this book for some time now and finally read it. True it is, that anything in life can be spun into a story. I felt like I was “inside” each story as I read. Well done. Five stars! By the way, Sarpati, is a serpent in the Garden of Eden, the slot machine plays favorites as if it was alive, the little girl still needs to learn a lesson, and The Fair Lady was scary.
