School Library Journal - 10/01/2023 PreS-Gr 1—Children volunteer in their urban neighborhood to create a community garden, make donations of books and food, and empathize with others' needs. The repetitive rhyming text directs readers to "lend a hand" by working together to do good deeds, a sentiment emphasized in the refrain: "Get together. Lend a hand. Can we do it? Yes, we can!" The illustrations depict kids of various colors, shapes, abilities, and cultural backgrounds, all with rosy cheeks and cheerful smiles, engaged in simple acts of helping and kindness. VERDICT Humming with sweetness and color, this is a lovely encouragement to new readers to make one's life matter in small but important ways.—Rachel Owens - Copyright 2023 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
