The Golden Rule by Ilene Cooper – Goodreads

The Golden Rule is a children's picture book written by Ilene Cooper and illustrated by Gabi Swiatkowska, which tells a story about a grandfather explaining to his grandson what the Golden Rule entails and answering all his questions about the rule.

Cooper's text is rather straightforward and rather heart-warming. The conversation between grandfather and grandson about the Golden Rule is wonderful, down to earth, incredibly innocent, and amazingly poignant without being too preachy. Swiatkowska's

Cooper's text is rather straightforward and rather heart-warming. The conversation between grandfather and grandson about the Golden Rule is wonderful, down to earth, incredibly innocent, and amazingly poignant without being too preachy. Swiatkowska's illustrations are phenomenal and reminiscent of oil paintings.

The premise of the book is rather simple it's a heart to heart conversation between a grandfather and his grandson about the Golden Rule. The grandson's questions about the Golden Rule are filled with childlike innocence and wonderment by the answer. I like the fact that the grandfather explained, while the term and wording of the Golden Rule may be Christian in nature all major faiths around the world has the same rule, worded differently, but has the same meaning. I also liked how the grandfather taught his grandson how to implement the rule in his life using examples that his grandson could understand.

All in all, The Golden Rule is a wonderful children's book about the meaning behind the law of reciprocity and how to live by it.
