When children learn to be kind, they create a healthy environment for themselves and improve their relationships with their friends. C.M. Harris teaches us this by example. She explains that there are many ways to help others. At home, children can do simple things like folding laundry or cleaning chairs. In school, children can share their belongings with classmates and play in turns in an organized way. They can also engage in other activities, such as approaching someone who is shy and politely starting a conversation. What If We Were All Generous! demonstrates that by being generous, children not only benefit others but also develop and improve their social skills.
I loved What If We Were All Generous! because of the wide variety of examples it shows us. We see children donating toys, helping older people carry things, or simply making new friends. The images are cheerful and illustrate various familiar places for young readers, such as a classroom or a park. The narrative ideas are clear, written in short sentences, and with simple vocabulary. The story reinforces good values such as respect, family togetherness, and empathy. The melodious verses make the concepts easy to remember. In addition, the author emphasizes the idea that helping is not a commitment, but a fun activity, because this enables us to live together and build meaningful relationships. C.M. Harris teaches children that no matter the place or circumstances, they will always have the opportunity to show the best part of themselves.
