The Love Ring
Madison loves to play dress up with her mother’s costume jewelry. Yet as soon as she stumbles across a sparkling amethyst ring, the beaded necklaces and plastic bracelets are no match for the beautiful crystal. Madison is forbidden to touch the ring once her mother finds out. But she can’t keep her eyes and naturally her hands off of it, especially when her friends are begging to see it. When Knuckles, the school bully demands to see the ring, Madison soon learns that it is much more than just a beautiful crystal. The Love Ring examines themes of disobedience, remorse, and forgiveness.

Teaching Values through Literature
Children's literature can be a great starting point to introducing students to a number of ethical characteristics. It offers children the opportunity to actively engage in books while simultaneously exploring values and ethical questions. Polka-Dot Face by author/illustrator, Monique Duncan, promotes self acceptance and encourages high self-esteem.
"Healthy self-esteem is a child's armor against the challenges of the world. Kids who feel good about themselves seem to have an easier time handling conflicts and resisting negative pressures. They tend to smile more readily and enjoy life. These kids are realistic and generally optimistic."
