The Bad Seed (by Jory john, illustrated by Pete Oswald) is one seed that stands out among the others for doing all nasty things! Never keeping the things in place, late almost every time, cutting lines and telling lies for petty things. While everyone hates him, they don’t know the story behind his being bad.
We curated a post of books which would encourage kids to be a good sport, to explain that participating and trying your best is good enough and that winning is not always important, how not to be a sore loser, how to not feel bad and have the confidence as well as courage to try something again! Here’s to NEVER GIVING UP!
Here’s a selection of picture books (for children between ages 4-7) by Indian authors, that are absolute favourites at Nandita da Cunha’s home. These are the books her daughters (now 7 and 9) have read and re-read (and continue to do so…!)
An excellent book to help deal with anxiety in toddlers that also helps you see the bright side in situations.
The story is short and sweet, perfect for younger children. It teaches children about the loneliness of Noi, the friendship between Noi and the baby whale, the kindness of Noi and how Noi’s dad, who is a single parent here, juggles between work and home.
