Parents love children's books and picture books. We believe the good ones carry a spiritual message that will stay with your child for future, like Brighton: One Star's Journey to Shine. It is common knowledge that reading children's books aloud may help pave the way to your child's reading success. Picture books are amazing for early readers who are just starting their journey. Following are a few tips to help you select children's books and picture books that are inspirational as well as fun.
1. Understand the types of books or subjects your child has enjoyed in the past as well as the kinds of characters, situations and topics he or she might relate to or find valuable. 2. Ask friends, relatives and people you trust what books their children read. 3. Brainstorm books you read as a child and consider whether they are appropriate for your child. 4. Ask your librarian to recommend books. 5. Look at books awarded Caldecott, Newberry, and Coretta Scott King commendations. 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..
