Reviews
'A truly wonderful celebration of all "kinds" of wildlife and of just being kind. Kind is a beautiful and timely reminder of the kindness we should show to all creatures, including ourselves. The text is simple and lyrical, imploring us to see the magic in every creature. It is a reminder that even though some may be frightening, we need to understand their vulnerability. The vibrant illustrations are beautifully detailed, with each creature being identified. This is the perfect book for discovery or to share with young nature lovers.' Heather Zubek, 'The Word', The West Australian
