  1. I am not sure why the text in your video is reversed. Don't worry about that, I just thought you should know. The focus on the "elegant" illustrations draws us in and we want to look at them as well. I really appreciate the focus on the theme of kindness, and the use of alliteration to craft images of work, community, family, and kindness.
