Diana and Matei’s class starts doing good deeds with no warning. The class is for children who are not yet in school. They clean the kitchen and care for animals. They help their neighbours and their families, too. Their acts puzzle their parents. Their teacher is away. Each day, they learn how small acts can bring others joy.

This story for children blends humour, warmth, and tender moments. It looks at being kind and knowing how others feel. It also looks at giving and our duty to help. It suits reading aloud in class before children start school. It suits bedtime reading at home, too. Classes can use it as a basis for things to do. Families can use it to discuss how children treat others.

Stanislav Solovinski is a writer from Ukraine who writes for children today. His playful tales use humour to teach lessons young readers can grasp. Children read his work in schools and classes for younger children. They do so in Ukraine and other countries.

This edition forms part of the ANTIBULLYING collection. It has colour pictures. Aliona Bivolaru translated the text from Ukrainian.
