Review:

What goes around, comes around literally, figuratively, every which way in this do-good, feel-good title. --Kirkus Reviews

This simple but compelling story teaches children that a smile and a kind word gives people a sense of pride in themselves and a desire to do something nice for others. --Childrens Literature Review

The cartoon-style art has lots of vigor and features a multiethnic community that is linked by good will. --Booklist
