Give a child gifts that will last a lifetime – self-esteem, tolerance, values, and inner strength. This book is filled with inspirational stories for children and their families to share, all about kids making good choices and doing the right thing.
The values that children learn today will stay with them for the rest of their lives. This collection gives kids positive role models to follow in its 101 stories about doing the right thing and making healthy choices. You and your child will enjoy discussing the stories, making it a family event. Great for teachers to share with students too.
This is a great book for parents to read themselves to remember what its like for kids or to read to their own kids who may need some positive thinking. The stores are written about and for kids ages 7 to 13 years old. They are stories that are great lessons for kids. I know for me after reading this book I had forgot what it is like to be a young kid during different occasions and this book gave me some good tips for helping my own kids deal with issues they are going to face. I love how the stories are only 2-3 pages each, perfect to read a quick story or to keep kids attention spans if reading to them.
