With school in full force around here, I spend many moments reading or helping a child to read books. It seems that books have a special power to calm an energetic child when they snuggle onto my lap and listen to a story. As a child, we had a hallway right in front of our bedrooms that had a long bookcase filled with books. My mother was an elementary school teacher before us kids came along and she always had a passion for books. Especially inspiring ones that taught an invaluable lesson to the reader. As I have become a parent, I too, try to find books that instill qualities in my child that will mold them into the best person they can be. Here are some of those books:
These few books tell stories that remind a child the most important things in life are family and home. They also speak of truths like obeying your parents, being your brother's keeper and to be thankful for the home you have been given. All important lessons we want our children to embed deep in their hearts.
