What reviewers said
"Well, to quote some lines in a song I wrote, I always say: ‘Whatever you are, be that. Whatever you do, do that. Anything else is just an act. Whoever you are, be that, be that. Whatever you are, be that.’ Nina West’s The You Kind of Kind teaches the same lesson—just be yourself!"
"A charming message about the power of kindness through text packed with bolded and capitalized made-up words that beg to be read aloud. Evans’s colorful illustrations brim with manic energy. It’s this very lively and engaging presentation that keeps the book from becoming preachy. A timely message delivered with verve."
