BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - NOT RECOMMENDED
AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW
A girl gives a doll to a refugee, which is cherished. When the little girl grows up, she always remembers the kindness of the girl in the airport, and decides to pay it forward, giving another refugee a doll.
Based on the real life experience of Dr. Tran-Davies. I liked the story, it teaches a nice lesson about kindness and empathy. I didn't like the illustrations, they were kind of creepy. The doll's "rosy cheeks" looked like boils, and the people's eyes weren't right. With illustrations so unappealing, I can't recommend this book
