People adore children's books and picture books. Diane believes the good ones carry an inspirational message that will stay with your child for a long time, like Brighton: One Star's Journey to Shine. It is common knowledge that reading children's books aloud might help pave the way to your child's reading success. Picture books are fun for new readers who are just getting started. Following are a few recommendations to help you select children's books and picture books that are inspirational as well as enjoyable.
1. Understand the types of books or subjects your child has liked in the past as well as the kinds of characters, situations and topics he or she might relate to or find interesting. 2. Ask friends, relatives and people you trust what books their children read. 3. Recall books you read as a child and consider whether they are compelling for your child. 4. Ask your librarian to give you a list of books. 5. Look at books awarded Caldecott, Newberry, and Coretta Scott King commendations. 6. Vary your recommendations and try different genres to hold your child's interest. 7. Make sure that the stories and illustrations present different issues in positive ways..
