Best Kids Books about Courage
Below are great kids books about courage. Kids learn character lessons best by example, and books are great for providing just that! There are so many different situations that require courage in every day life. Beyond situations presenting physical danger, children need to learn courage in social situations -- courage to stand up for those being mistreated, courage to stand up for what is right in the face of peer pressure, etc...
Great children's books explore these different types of courage in powerful ways that will stick with children for a long time. As with all
character education topics, these children's books are great
place to start the discussion (as opposed to lectures) since children often learn best by example.
