This story depicts the hopes that adults have for their children when they grow up including: being kind, standing up for others, and using their voices for change. I thought that this simple yet important narrative was a touching read that has important themes for young children to be exposed to! Overall, I think that this book would be great to read to a class when discussing class norms and expectations for how to treat one another,
(audio nonfiction, 7 hrs 44 min, read by the author/adapter for the teen edition)

This is a lovely, heart warming book for young children that I would highly recommend!
This is a story about being kind, and it features Indigenous children in it. It's great to see more diversity in children's books, especially with a book that displays it in such a great way. Showing that kindness is important and can be shown in many ways is a lovely message and theme for the book.
Five out of five stars.
