Who is Pesto?
*spoiler alert*Pesto is an adorable, petite mouse. What other mice can reach easily, he needs extra help to snatch. He usually doesn't mind being petite so much, but one day in particular was stacked full of obstacles. This led to Pesto feeling frustrated with his size. So, that day, he tried many different ways to grow bigger. Alas, none of his plans worked and Pesto remained teensy. This got Pesto upset and feeling pretty defeated. That is when his mom reminds him that he is perfect the way he is and he doesn't need to change anything about himself because every mouse is different - and that's a good thing! Pesto realised that his small stature does not limit his opportunities and can even have its own awesome advantages! Pesto's story has the ability to teach children that they don't have to change anything about themselves to feel confident - accepting who you are and embracing the special things that make you YOU is the most important and transformative goal.
Why Are High-Quality Children's Books Important?
Reading high-quality children's books is essential because they stimulate conversation, creativity, literacy skills, and moral and critical thinking. Assistant Professor of Human Development and Family Studies Laurie Harper and Rhode Island University Professor Susan Trostle-Brand argue that reading high-quality picture books with children can heighten their emotional sense, promote empathy toward others' feelings, and enhance their moral development. Discussing books in the classroom and at home can help kids understand the lessons being taught and how to take a perspective. Children's books offer a straightforward and digestible way for kids to learn morals. Stories foster fundamental skills, vocabulary development, and language expansion while also nurturing creativity and imagination. There is a book for every situation. Is your kid having trouble making friends? Read and discuss "The Invisible Boy" by Trudy Ludwig. Is your kid getting their personal space invaded? Read and discuss "Don't Touch My Hair" by Sharee Miller. There is a special book for every occasion.
