Clifford's Good Deeds

I'm curious how the author decided to highlight kindness and helpfulness through Clifford’s adventures. Was this a conscious theme from the start?

Reading about Clifford's acts of kindness gave me warm fuzzies, but I wonder if it also encourages young readers to do the same.

The art style really brings Clifford’s personality to life. I’m interested in whether the visuals were planned to evoke that cheerful vibe.
