      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: Listeners will find themselves thinking about this story long after it's over. Woodson's book, a Coretta Scott King Honor winner, features the character Mia, a new student in school who is different and who is excluded because of it--until Miss Albert teaches a lesson about kindness. Narrator Nikki James's haunting voice, combined with music and illustrations, makes for rewarding production. Perfectly childlike, James's voice is gentle, and she uses pauses and quietness to emphasize each rejection Mia encounters. Young listeners will be compelled to consider the possibility of similar situations in their own lives. A.R. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine

        Starred review from September 17, 2012
        When a new and clearly impoverished girl named Maya shows up at school (“Her coat was open and the clothes beneath it looked old and ragged”), Chloe and her friends brush off any attempt to befriend her. Even when Maya valiantly—and heartbreakingly—tries to fit in and entice the girls to play with her, she is rejected. Then one day, Maya is gone, and Chloe realizes that her “chance of a kindness” is “more and more forever gone.” Combining realism with shimmering impressionistic washes of color, Lewis turns readers into witnesses as kindness hangs in the balance in the
        cafeteria, the classroom, and on the sun-bleached playground asphalt; readers see how the most mundane settings can become tense testing grounds for character. Woodson, who collaborated with Lewis on The Other Side and Coming On Home Soon, again brings an unsparing lyricism to a difficult topic. The question she answers with this story is one that can haunt at any age: what if you’re cruel to someone and never get the chance to make it right? Ages 5–8. Agent: Charlotte Sheedy Literary Agency. Illustrator’s agent: Dwyer & O’Grady.
