This is the heartwarming tale of a young boy named Nico who is asked by his aunt if he would 'be so kind' as to take care of her dog Lola for the weekend. Before Lola, an adorable black pug, arrives, Nico asks himself, 'How will I be so kind?' He needn't have worried, as he proves himself a loving and considerate caretaker. The images in this beautiful photographic book include many shots of Nico and Lola in lush outdoor settings, as the instantly inseparable companions go exploring and make new friends together. The writing is well crafted, and the kindnesses demonstrated in the storyline and images are encapsulated in a series of 'Being kind is . . .' statements highlighted on every other page. Being a good listener, taking turns, sharing, treating others the way you want to be treated - these are just some of the kindnesses Nico and Lola show one another, and the reader, in this lovely tale.
