My Little Book of Values

This little booklet should be a valuable addition to the literary material aimed at 9 to 11-year-old children still in their formative years.

In the present culture of materialism where the allure of affluence and ease has so dulled and tainted the “sensitivities” of individuals to intolerance, hatred, and prejudice, it becomes more important for parents and teachers alike to instil in their children those core character-building values of decency, integrity, and truth that are such essential elements of a stable and healthy society.

Using simple language, the author has so cleverly incorporated such anecdotes into her narrative that are likely to influence young and receptive readers in subtle and positive ways.
