Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Mrs. Snowden tells the kids that T = True, H = Helpful, N = Necessary, and K = Kind. If what you're about to say isn't any of these things, she tells them, you shouldn't say it. Later that day, when Tyaja is about to criticize her friend Dhavi's new haircut, she is stopped by four little elves sporting the letters T, H, N, and K, who reinforce Ms. Snowden's lesson and remind Tyaja how friends should treat friends. Tyaja learns that she is the "I" in THiNK!
"In mindfulness class one morning, Ms. Snowden tells her students about the THINK Test. Before they say something, she explains they should ask themselves four questions: Is it True? Is it Helpful? Is it Necessary? And is it KInd? If it isn't all those things, maybe it's better left unsaid. When Tyaja sees her friend Rosie on the playground later that day, she thinks Rosie's new haircut looks terrible. But before she can say that to Rosie, the THINK Test team intervenes..."--Jacket.
