Books that Build Character

A Child’s First Book of Virtues is a delightful book of stories and poems that teach children 15 common virtues such as honesty, compassion, friendship, and honoring parents. The illustrations are sweet and timeless, and it’s definitely a book to keep and pass down to the next generation.

 

 

Little Pilgrim’s Progress is a classic work of literature adapted from John Bunyan’s original Pilgrim’s Progress that’s a must- read for every family and makes the perfect read-aloud for young children. The illustrator portrays the characters as animals in a forest fostering their imagination and peaking their interest. This amazing allegory helps little ones understand Biblical truths and what it looks like to have noble character and stay on the straight and narrow road  that leads to the King.

I hope you enjoy some special time reading with your kids and encouraging them in their faith in God and their character.
