Another quirky take on the series theme that it’s cool to be kind. The cool beans again step up to do a timorous fellow legume a fava…this time at the pool. Will a rash decision to tackle the multistory super-slide lead to another embarrassing watery fail for our shy protagonist? Nope, for up the stairs right behind comes a trio of cool beans, each a different type and color, all clad in nothing but dark shades.

Five young Black boys come together for a day of ecstatic play at the park. The rose-painted landscape of sunrise greets readers as this book opens on three friends meeting in the morning quiet of a playground. After the kids enjoy a rollicking wagon ride and build an imaginary time machine, two more friends join the group, and the five play pretend, explore a garden, visit the library, shoot hoops, and have adventures until the sun goes down.

A stirring, nonpreachy lesson in kindness, responsibility, and the restorative power of nature. A child learns the power of both nature and kindness in this sweet tale of an early morning spent fishing. The young narrator tiptoes through the quiet house, promising Mama a surprise from the stream. Mabry’s text effectively emphasizes the natural world and the senses, from the smell of the pines to the sounds of the birds, frogs, and wind.
