Instilling proper values in our children is imperative to their social development. Although this is a challenging task in this day and age, it is necessary to promote the development of good character to raise responsible children. Sweet Pea Books, Inc. is dedicated to producing multicultural stories that inspire, amuse, and explore ethical themes.
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."
-The Nemours Foundation
