Bear is sad. All the other animals think he’s mean because he’s so big. But his human friend, Coco, offers to help him. Coco shares her grandmother’s advice: “When life gets dark as winter’s night, share some kindness, bring some light.” They decide to bake cookies to “share some kindness” and make lanterns to “bring some light.” But when the cookies and lanterns don’t work, they must look for another way to win over the other animals. And while they’re at it, Coco and Bear just might discover that kindness is a gift that only comes from the heart.

I received a copy of this picture book from author Apryl Stott in exchange for an honest review.
“Share Some Kindness Bring Some Light” Written and illustrated by Apryl Stott is a timely and stunning story about the power of kindness and acceptance. The story follows Coco and Bear, two friends who make it their mission to show kindness to everyone they meet. They take on the motto “share some kindness bring some light.” Together, the two make cookies and create lanterns for all the animals in the woods. When these gestures do not work, Coco and Bear must work together to discover the secret of sharing kindness. The illustrations are enchanting and pull readers into the story.
“Share Some Kindness Bring Some Light” has a tender message of love, acceptance, and friendship.
