Children’s Books For Discovering Heroes
Children’s books are powerful tools that shape the adults they become. Unlike other forms of media, books connect with children on a deeper level, allowing them to immerse themselves in new perspectives and exciting experiences, dramatically expanding their world view. As children quickly move beyond caregivers being their primary role models and influencers, a new set of influencers such as friends, artists, entertainers, sports icons, internet celebrities, and authors come into play.
