The Giver is the first of four books in a quartet series by Lois Lowry that is about a dystopian community that is almost cult-like. That being said, this book and its series is more suitable for the older grades (5th/6th). In this book, your children will read about the main character's (11 year old boy Jonas) harsh realization about the strange society he has grown up in.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In a perfect world, Jonas begins to see the flaws...

THE GIVER is the classic award-winning novel that inspired the dystopian genre and a major motion picture adaptation starring Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, Katie Holmes and Taylor Swift.

It is the future. There is no war, no hunger, no pain. No one in the community wants for anything. Everything needed is provided. And at twelve years old, each member of the community has their profession carefully chosen for them by the Committee of Elders.

Twelve-year old Jonas has never thought there was anything wrong with his world. But from the moment he is selected as the Receiver of Memory, Jonas discovers that their community is not as perfect as it seems.

It is only with the help of the Giver, that Jonas can find what has been lost. And it is only through his personal courage that Jonas finds the strength to do what is right...

The Giver is the award-winning classic of bravery and adventure that has inspired countless dystopian writers as the forerunner of this genre.

Click here to view the book on Amazon. This biography book will teach your kids about the childhoods of our world's most famous scientists such as Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Marie Curie, and much more!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Funny and totally true childhood biographies and full-color illustrations tell tales from the challenging yet defining growing-up years of Albert Einstein, Jane Goodall, Marie Curie, and 12 other brilliant scientists.

Every great scientist started out as a kid. Before their experiments, inventions, and discoveries that changed the world, the world's most celebrated scientists had regular-kid problems just like you. Stephen Hawking hated school, and preferred to spend his free time building model airplanes, inventing board games, and even building his own computer. Jane Goodall got in trouble for bringing worms and snails into her house. And Neil deGrasse Tyson had to start a dog-walking business to save up money to buy a telescope.

Kid Scientists tells the stories of a diverse and inclusive group-also including Temple Grandin, Nikola Tesla, Ada Lovelace, Benjamin Franklin, Isaac Newton, Rosalind Franklin, Sally Ride, Rachel Carson, George Washington Carver, and Vera Rubin -through kid-friendly texts and full-color cartoon illustrations on nearly every page.

The Emotions Book: A Little Story About Big Emotions

# data[].attributes.body
Click here to view this book on Amazon. This story starring Louie, a brave little elephant, will teach your kids about how to self-regulate and navigate their emotions. The four big emotions in this story include anger, sadness, frustration, and happiness.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Help your child self-regulate their emotions. The Emotions Books: A Little Story About BIG Feelings teaches emotional control and how to effectively act when faced with overwhelming feelings or challenging circumstances.

Throughout this vibrant story, Louie, a brave little elephant, teaches children that when they experience big feelings, their body and mind are simply telling them something; perhaps a hug is needed or they need to take a break and breath.

Focusing on four primary emotions: anger, sadness, frustration, and happiness - children will learn to welcome their feelings and listen to them instead of impulsively reacting. Managing big emotions can help children act effectively and solve conflict independently while working their way back to a calm, happy state.

The Emotions Book: A Little Story About BIG Feelings is the 5th book in its series and follows the theme of helping children find their inner bravery by navigating change, transitions, and new feelings.
The 4 BIG Emotions:
Anger: An intense, heightened emotion can often be overwhelming to children and can lead to adverse reactions when not understanding the core reason why they feel this way. When in a fiery state, children need to learn to stop and breathe before reacting. Calming and self-soothing oneself is an essential first step.

Sadness: An emotional pain associated with feelings of loss, despair, grief, helplessness, and disappointment. Sadness can be especially hard for a child when they don't have comfort or understanding of why their feeling this way or that it's simply OK to feel sad sometimes.

Frustration: An emotional response to conflict or opposition. Frustration can often occur from being unable to solve a problem, experiencing a roadblock, or annoyance. Frustration in a child can often lead to anger and adverse reactions if one does not take caution. Stopping to take a break is often a great way to prevent irritation and pivot.

Happiness: An emotional state characterized by feelings of satisfaction, joy, and fulfillment. When a child is happy, they are often calm and ready to learn. Teaching children techniques like breathing, stopping, and realizing the core of their feelings is a critical way to get back to feeling happy.
Through the Brave Kid Press book series, your child will learn:
✓ The importance of trying something new.

✓ How to self-regulate BIG emotions.

✓ That bravery lies within and we can access it at any time.

✓ The importance and benefits of curiosity and being open-minded.

✓ Overcoming new challenges can often lead to even more fun and adventure!

✓ How to find security with change in a new environment.

✓ That sleep is essential for everyone and allows us to have more fun when we're awake.

✓ The importance of consistency. Grit and perseverance help challenges become easier with time.

✓ The incredible feeling of conquering hard things!

✓ That kindness always wins.
