“Humanity can hardly be put into words. It appears when we act, stand up for others. Hallo! shows what small gestures can mean for people on the run: the feeling of belonging and the hope for a better future.”
Counting Kindness has been awarded the 2020 Northern Lights Book Award in the concept category Counting.
Exciting news! ‘Hello!’ has been nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal 2021, awarded by children’s librarians for an outstanding book in terms of illustration.
“A unique counting book that’s full of empathy and hope for children everywhere.”
“The warmth of the beautiful illustrations enhance the simple text enabling young readers to follow the journey of this refugee family and encouraging them to join in with counting… a gentle introduction to the plight of refugee children for the very young. It could provide the perfect starting point for conversations about this important topic in educational settings and at home.”
“A beautiful and unusual counting book redolent with empathy and inclusivity. (…) …this is an outstanding example of how a deceptively simple picturebook can develop empathy and understanding. Highly recommended.”
“It’s a perfect situation book and also a lovely read.”
