The Little Humanitarian Reviews
”Grandad, can you read the little kind book again please”

“I have been fortunate to have had a 45-year career in education. Not until now have I recalled a book which touches the heart of young children so deeply. They have been transported to another life and are able to have an understanding of the hardship of children like themselves in war torn countries. Beautifully and sympathetically written; a good starting point for developing schools’ charity work. Thank you!”

“As a retired primary school teacher, and now a grandma, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this delightful book to my 8-year-old granddaughter. The important message of how small acts of kindness can make a difference to other people in challenging circumstances is sensitively communicated. The inclusion of Chas, based on a real-life volunteer for the Hope and Aid Direct charity, encourages children to connect and emphasise with others.
Difficult concepts are carefully dealt with in a child-friendly way and the clever use of bold key words and phrases, plus lovely illustrations, helps to reinforce the message of kindness, compassion and love. Reading this text to my granddaughter led onto meaningful questions and conversations. When she asked me, ” Can I help? Can we buy some toys for them?”, I knew that the book had successfully nurtured empathy and hope. Highly recommended!”
