School Library Journal - 05/01/2025 Gr 1–3—Ava Lin is a first grader who is "really good at making things, eating snacks, and making lists." Each week, Ava's teacher and classmates can award each other tickets for acts of kindness. The student with the most tickets by Friday gets to pick a prize. When Ava spots a narwhal eraser in the prize bucket, she's determined to win it. With the help of her best friend Kushi, she comes up with a plan to earn as many tickets as possible. But as the week goes on, Ava realizes that kindness isn't about rewards—it's about being kind just because. Ava's quirky habits, like keeping bits of food in her pockets and "meeping" like an alien instead of saying yes, make her an especially endearing and believable six-year-old. VERDICT A sweet and engaging story about friendship and kindness, perfect for any collection. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
