PUNCH! A STORY ABOUT KINDNESS written and illustrated by Michael Hall

Writer-illustrator Michael Hall begins PUNCH! A STORY ABOUT KINDNESS with a visual clue to the story when a series of four pictures show badger’s obvious delight in his friend Snaily. Other players are introduced in an opposing picture, Elephant, Bear, Moose and Frog. The action begins with “GRRRRRR! Badger was looking for trouble” and angry-eyed fury results in physical meanness. His friends come up with a 3 part plan that has the feeling of payback…and yet as Badger buries Snaily, his friends give a punch, belt, two socks, slug and a slug….all the negative sounding words express their caring.You can find out more about this book and audio at the purchase link below.
