CHILDREN’S PICTURE BOOKS

-- LIGHTHOUSE AND THE LITTLE BOAT by Katie Frawley, illustrated by Ben Mantle. This has the feel of
an instant classic! It reminds me of Scuffy the Tugboat and Little Toot, and is a story any parent will
relate to—one about worrying for our children as they go into the big world and away from our “light.”
Yes, I cried the first time I read it (even though it’s a happy story). Pg. 50
-- EVERYDAY BRAVE by Colter Jackson. What happens when we lose our courage? In this timeless
children’s book, a little girl has a lion by her side helping her be brave, but then another classmate tells
her it’s only imaginary. She will have to discover the lion within. I think every child will relate. Pg. 51
