Every year in the jungle animals gather to debate on what makes a good mate, but for Bundi the African owl when it comes to debating, she really struggles. This year, when her animal friends fight because they can't agree on whose saying is best, Bundi is left feeling scared, and wants to run and hide in a safe place to find rest. But something special happens, amazingly she finds her voice and sings a beautiful song on how we can choose to be kind to others in our actions each day.

A wonderful book and a great way to teach children that kindness often takes courage and that any person can show kindness.
