Book Blurb from Goodreads:

My Review:

Imagine my surprise when I took my daughter to the Hawaii Book & Music Festival in May and saw that Olympic Ice Skating Gold Medalist Kristi Yamaguchi was there for a reading and book signing!  I didn't even know she wrote children's books.  I was delighted and my daughter, who is 2 years old, thought the cat on the cover of the book was cute.  Kristi Yamaguchi was very personable and sweet and signed the book for my daughter.  I was a bit start struck since I grew up in the 80's/90's and she was my favorite ice skater.  

This book Cara's Kindness has the sweetest illustrations, I love it.  My daughter is in a furry animals phase, so she loves the big eyed cat Cara as she helps others in need and sees them help someone else in return.  The book has an awesome message about being kind, helping others and paying it forward.  We enjoyed it very much.  This would make a wonderful gift as well.

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
