Emotions & Values

Total 24 books Page 2 of 2

About this genre

Emotions and values stories show children what sharing, patience, courage, empathy and conscience look like through one character's choice, not a lecture. The 24 books here run from toddler picture stories to thoughtful reads for ages 10-12, and every one can be read online or played as an audio story. They are made for a short talk afterwards.

Which story should I start with for a preschooler?
Pick a story built around one simple act, such as HopHop the Sharing Rabbit or The Little Sparrow and the Sharing Tree. They are around two to three minutes long and end on a clear choice your child can retell.
What values do these books cover?
Mostly sharing, patience, courage, teamwork, empathy and making the right choice when nobody is checking. Older titles such as The Diary of Chestnut Manor and Leo and the Light of Conscience add kindness projects and hard decisions.
How do I talk about the story without preaching?
Ask instead of explaining: 'Why do you think Pip waited on the shore?' or 'What would you have done with the carrot?' One answer your child connects to their own day sticks better than a summary of the moral.
Are there stories for a child who is nervous about trying something new?
Yes. Pip and the Lake of Courage and Pip the Frog's Brave Step both follow a frog who is scared of deep water and starts with one toe. They work well before swimming lessons, a first day, or any new step.
How long are the audio stories?
Most run between two and five minutes; Little Teapot's Morning Steam is just over a minute, while The Village Above the Clouds and The Diary of Chestnut Manor are close to six. Short ones suit bedtime, longer ones a classroom session.
Can teachers use these books in class?
Yes. Play the audio from the book page on a projector, then open a two-question discussion. Group stories like The Team of the Colorful Garden or The Water Cycle Watchers also work as a starting point for a class project.
