This post features picture books for young children. You can often find read-aloud videos online and, of course, at your local library. Take your time to explore the links on this page, learn about each book’s history, the author and illustrator, and the creative process behind the art. Discovering the stories behind the stories can be just as delightful as reading the books themselves. And remember to share these insights with your young ones. Here is the list: Fiction Books Kindness Since kindness is a very important concept for young children to learn, I started off the list with the books on compassion, kindness and empathy toward self as well as others.
