I'm always happy when I can share beautiful news 🌞🧡. Another review of my worldess picture book Every Little Kindness, Chronicle Books, originally published by Miš založba, will be out in October. It's written by Booklist Reviews (@ALA_Booklist). And again, I want to say a big thank you to Booklist Reviews, Chronicle Books and Daria Harper, Miš založba and Anže Miš and to my agent Allison Hellegers, Stimola Literary Studio Clients.
This is the review: "A girl awakens early and sets off walking through her neighborhood, posting flyers about her missing dog. Along the way, she gives a street musician an apple; this kindness encourages another walker to pick up litter, which in turn inspires a young child to replace a balloon for a sobbing toddler. The thoughtful deeds continue, finally circling back to the original girl, who is reunited with her lost pup. Bartolj's wordless picture book, originally published in Slovenia, beautifully illustrates the concept of paying it forward. Her watercolor-and-ink illustrations employ a palette of grey tones and yellows with red used to bring attention to the good deeds in the story. The use of comic panels allows the narrative to expand, depicting several additional altruistic acts before the story's conclusion. Readers will enjoy finding the dog posters throughout and predicting the kindly acts in each vignette. With endpapers depicting a bird's eye view of the neighborhood, and small details signaling a European-style city setting, this is a tale that begs for repeated viewings. — Kay Weisman."
