Book Review of The ABCs of Compassion

A New Take on Classic Learning! The ABCs of
Compassion is a captivating children’s picture book that offers a wholly
original take on the traditional alphabet book.



For generations, parents and teachers have taught their children the basics of
the ABCs, whether by song or rhymes. Instead of animals and objects, The ABCs
of Compassion teaches children the alphabet through the joys of compassion and
kindness. Featuring words like Believe, Forgiveness, Generosity, and Service,
the book opens young readers eyes and minds to the most important things in
life - the skills, qualities and behaviours we should all cultivate to lead a
joyful, purposeful life.



The book has been structured in a simple, easy-to-follow manner, with each
letter and corresponding word shown before a complimentary illustration that
demonstrates what the word means. The illustrations showcase life-like scenes
and characters, which makes it easy for readers to imagine themselves inside
each moment. In addition, each word/letter is accompanied by a short paragraph
that provides an explanation of how to practice it in real life, like giving
someone a hug to spread Warmth. Both of these factors do an incredible job at
bringing the book’s ideas and themes out of the intangible into real life. Not
only this, but the book’s playful nature featuring lessons disguised as fun
goes a long way in bringing fun back into learning and will stay in young
readers' hearts and minds long after they finish the book.



What truly makes this book stand out is the author’s attention to detail. It is
clear that author, Carla Allen, has really thought about the overall messaging
of the book and what it will mean to readers - from the type of words selected
to the illustrations showcasing a multitude of different ages, races and
cultures - this unique and special work will not only connect with but greatly
appeal to people from all backgrounds and situations.



In these turbulent times what better way to show your child that we are all the
same at the end of the day. We are happy. We are sad. We are all just trying to
be the best version of ourselves.

Brimming with the limitless possibilities of
showing kindness to others, this is the perfect book for children of all ages,
and one many adults could benefit from as well! Teach your children the right
way and watch them blossom into amazing people all from learning the alphabet
the right way. - Review by Book Excellence (bookexcellence.com)
