Through the Eyes of First Graders

We liked the little bit of color that the illustrator used. We used our imaginations to read the book because there were no words. The author taught us about being kind to others. It's important to give things to people that are poor. It was like passing on a good deed.

great wordless picture book

I use this book in speech-language therapy to work on narrative and inferencing skills. It's a great book with a good message, sweet illustrations, and it really facilitates good conversation.

A truly rapturous and inspiring picture book

A Circle Of Friends is a warm and caring wordless story which is "written" and illustrated by Giora Carmi. When a young boy anonymously donates his snack to a homeless man, he begins a cycle of goodwill that reverberates and expands in a great circle of kindness. A Circle Of Friends is distinctive in that it is told entirely through illustrations - which have the powerful characteristic of being in black and white with a single color highlight. A truly rapturous and inspiring picture book, A Circle Of Friends is strongly recommended for inclusion in school and community library picture book collections.
