This cute little full-color hardcover book is excellent for kids of all ages. It tells the story of the Goff family. From learning compassion to making friends to inviting world leaders over for dinner, this book has it all. There are many references to Jesus and Christian undertones. However, the central message of the book is to be kind and forgiving in life--to embody love to all people. I enjoyed the stories of backyard adventures, candy store negotiations, freeing slaves in India, building schools in Uganda, and getting others presents on your own birthday. The print is fairly large, which is nice, and the illustrations are cleverly arranged to flow with the short stories. Each story is about 4 pages and easy to read before bedtime or after homework. I think this book will inspire many young readers to be kind to others and make a different in the global community.
