Hi, Mummy Lozz here. This month I have had the
absolute pleasure of reviewing a beautiful story; The Story of
the Kindness Elves.

However, the delightful Story
of the Kindness Elves reminds us through magic and imagination that
little acts of kindness can, really make such a positive impact. Life can get
so busy rushing around, and it's easy to forget the importance acts of kindness
are.
After becoming a mum in 2016 I have been
increasingly eager to begin traditions that create a positive impact in my
family, that means more than just chocolate and presents. A friend told me
about the
kindness elves. My initial thought was what a beautiful tradition to
bring into my family and I was excited that it wasn’t just confined to
Christmas but is something we can share throughout the year.
When I heard that there was a story coming out, I
couldn't wait to get my hands on it! I jumped at the chance to review it for
Anna! The story ofthe kindness elves takes you on a
journey of the adorable little kindness elves who live in the cutest little
houses in the clouds. Their important mission is to create lots of potions to
help spread kindness around the world. Even though they do an incredible job
they still need some help. So they invite 2 children Camellia and William to
help! What an important job!
I love children’s books. I love how imagination is
brought to life and how colourful and inviting they are, and this story
definitely ticks all those boxes. I believe that the authors' definitely
created a way to teach and encourage children to show kindness. This story is
unique to other stories out at the moment, as behind the story is a hidden
message. It cleverly uses the story of the elves as a way to build children’s
understanding of how they can be kind to others.
The pictures in this story are stunning. They are so vibrant. It was definitely the
first detail to catch my attention. On the cover is a beautiful vibrant
rainbow. What a lovely way to introduce
the story to the children. The rainbow and the cute little smiles on the elves,
to me, was a clever decision by the authors, as it felt very inviting and
grabbed my attention. My daughter is only 11 months old and the bright colours
attracted her attention and she loved looking at all the pictures.
I especially liked how, throughout the story, there
were moments where the readers were invited in to the story. I believe the
authors were clever in doing this as it helps in keeping children
interested and engaged. It also includes
scenarios that children can relate to through school or people they may see
everyday. Children may see friends in
the school ground who have fallen over, or seen people that need help with
their groceries. This book shows children that they can make someone happy with
a kind deed and that it does not matter how young they are. You can really see how much love and thought
the authors put into make sure that children feel happy, supported and most of
all encouraged with kindness.
Overall this
story will be cherished in our house for many years to come and I
can't wait to share it with others. I would definitely recommend this beautiful
book. I believe it is a story that can be used
as a great educational tool for childhood educators but by also creating
love and kindness in peoples homes.
