Publishers Weekly

Following Tomorrow I'll Be Brave, renowned lettering artist and illustrator Hische takes on a new set of kindness-oriented adjectives. Words such as helpful, gentle, and generous are scrawled in elegant script across full spreads, accompanied by scenes of a rabbit, cat, mouse, and other animals acting in kind and thoughtful ways. In cheerful, digitally rendered artwork, the animals assist a friend after a tumble, take turns on a slide, celebrate a loved one's birthday, and donate toys and clothes. Hische sets her vignettes to a catchy, rhyming poem: "Tomorrow I'll be/ helpful/ when I see someone in need/ I won't stand by or hesitate, / I'll get up and take the lead!" A welcome call to tenderness. Ages 3-7. (Jan.)
