Everyone loves children's books and picture books. We believe the good ones carry a spiritual message that will stay with your child for his or her entire childhood, like Brighton: One Star's Journey to Shine. It is proven that reading children's books aloud potty help pave the way to your child's reading success. Picture books are fun for new readers who are just starting out. Here are a few hints to help you determine the children's books and picture books that are inspirational as well as fun.
1. Consider the varieties of books or subjects your child has been drawn to in the past as well as the kinds of characters, situations and topics he or she might relate to or find exciting. 2. Ask friends, relatives and people you trust what books their kids read. 3. Think about books you read as a child and consider whether they are right for your child. 4. Ask your librarian to recommend books. 5. Look at books awarded Caldecott, Newberry, and Coretta Scott King prizes. 6. Vary your selection and try different genres to hold your child's interest. 7. Make sure that the stories and illustrations present different issues in positive ways..
