Hen does an act of kindness for Pig which inspires Pig to be kind to another animal.

The barnyard animals are kind to each other until it circles back to Hen." The bright background colors keep the focus on the simply drawn animals. There's not a lot of detail which makes it easier for very young children to understand what is happening on each page. Children learn about kindness as each happy animal thinks of a way to be kind.
