Reading this charming poem to or with a child can foster confidence and encourage leadership.
Authors Hodgson and Kasten believe that great leadership can be learned from a young age. This beautifully illustrated and thoughtful book is meant to be shared and enjoyed while giving children tools to find their own unique gifts and the values that make great leaders.
As Hodgson and Kasten write, "There's a leader inside every girl and boy."
I received an Advanced Review copy of this book and am very impressed with the message! The illustrations are splendid and in today's age of technology, this resource is great for building face-to-face skills of leadership, honesty, compassion and other character traits that kids can't learn through a computer. Hodgson is known for her parenting wisdom it's visible through this book's message! Written in rhyming verse, this would be a good read for parents or teachers to read aloud. Pre-read questions could include: What makes a good leader? How can we be good leaders? (Heaven knows we need better leaders full of integrity today!) After the read-aloud, ask them to self-check: What skill could we/you work on this week? This is a good purchase for a parent, school, or public library to add to their collection.
