My kids are both at ages where outside influences are starting to become a factor. Liam is finishing up first grade and Charlotte has one more year of preschool left. Some of the things we try to instill in our kids are kindness and confidence. I love finding empowering children’s books that show those things and more. I wanted to share some favorites.
Empowering Children’s Books
I was given Tomorrow I’ll Be Brave as a gift for Liam and we have probably read it 100 times. It’s such an amazing book to give your little one the confidence to tackle anything. Then I saw there was a sequel, Tomorrow I’ll Be Kind which shows different ways to be kind to others and in any situation. Both of these books I think are incredible for Liam’s age, 4, or any age!
When I was pregnant with Charlotte, Liam’s school had a book fair and I got Dear Girl for her and Dear Boy for Liam. I love the messages in these books which talk about how it’s ok to be you, to have feelings, to do the things that make you happy. I have gifted these for pretty much every child in our lives.
I got sent Kristen Bell’s book, The World Needs More Purple People and I was SO EXCITED! It’s about being ok with who you are and embracing those around you!
Be Brave Little One is a great book to give at a baby shower! I love showing my children how they can be brave in all situations and that it’s OK if sometimes they are not.
We love the ABC What Can She Be book for Charlotte. It’s never too early to show our girls they can be whatever they want! Another great one for that is A is for Awesome!
I think boys are so often told to not have certain kinds of feelings. That is why I got Big Boy Feelings for Liam so he knows he can have whatever feelings he feels and never needs to be ashamed to feel them!
If you have any empowering children’s books to share please share them below! I always want to add more to our library!
