Coco and Bear have been friends ever since they met. Bear is quite sad as none of the other animals in the forest seem to like him and are afraid of him. They believe he is mean because he is big. Coco shares her grandmother’s wise saying of sharing some kindness and bring some light with Bear and they come up with a plan to help Bear’s neighbors see how kind he really is. Sadly, the plan does not work as they thought, but there is an emergency and Bear comes to the rescue.

Stott’s illustrations are so realistic and compliment the text extremely well. The pictures are charming and a young reader will feel as if they are in the forest with Coco and Bear. The first two pages and the last two pages of the book are done in a sepia tone and illustrate the forest characters beautifully and hint at how the story will proceed and finishes. Stott’s Share Some Kindness Bring Some Light  is part of the Coco and Bear series. and will fit into any preschool and elementary library. It would make a wonderful gift for any child as well.
