Author Bio
▼▲Editorial Reviews
▼▲Told in bouncy rhymes, this upbeat book urges readers to do somethingwell, various somethingsto demonstrate kindness, helpfulness, compassion, and neighborliness. "Others," the book suggests, include relatives, friends, neighbors, members of ones community, and animals. Kids are reminded that tuning in to ones "kindness radar" doesnt require being an adult or having money; children can display empathy and goodwill in simple, no-cost ways and by being observant and creative. The old adage "its the thought that counts" is the pointprovided the empathic thought is backed up with generosity. Easy, doable examples include helping "an older person water plants or get the mail," welcoming newcomers to the neighborhood, raking leaves, and washing someones car. Some examples of kindness arent so easilyor crediblyaccomplished by children, however: e.g., setting up a sidewalk adoption station for abandoned pets. Adults sharing this cheery volume should encourage youngsters to volunteer ideas for ways they can be helpful. Theres a Christian slant here: An excerpt from the book of Matthew precedes the opening spread, and references to God and Jesus appear within the text, so this title will be welcome in Christian and Sunday school libraries. The colorful, lively illustrations and occasional, playful variations in font are appealing; background characters demonstrate diversity in skin tone, age, and body shape.
A chipper reminder that something can add up to a whole lot.Kirkus ReviewsAuthor/Artist Review

Tell us a little about yourself. I grew up in Canada, but have lived in four different countries. (Canada, the U.S., South Korea, and Spain) I am a teacher/author/librarian who enjoys helping children fall in love with God and reading!
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? This book is a companion book to Nothing: Nothing Can Separate You From God's Love. Whereas Nothing reminds us how we are loved by God, Something encourages us to love others. There is a repeating line in the book: Keep your kindness radar working - maybe something starts with you. I've realized what a bubble we tend to live in - myself included! As we go about our day we are often not fully present in the moment. We are distracted by social media or so focused on our own to-do list that we don't even notice the people around us. I hope that Something helps us create new habits of really seeing others and looking for opportunities to love others well.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: There are kindness challenge resources available from my website. I also love to hear from readers! It is humbling and encouraging to know my books are impacting others. On Twitter I am @nataleecreech.
