Local six-year-olds have recently received a beautifully bound gift book about positive character-building traits entitled My Favorite Book.
The illustrated book is full-color and organized into multiple stories concerned with teaching positive citizenship values to youngsters.
The core traits covered include the importance of family, taking personal responsibility, kindness and compassion, cooperation, honesty, gratitude, self-respect, and respect of others. The book is published by Goodwill Publishers and is being distributed to more than 45,000 children in 254 Minnesota communities.
The Ambassador Company organizes distribution statewide by working with fire departments, libraries, police and sheriff departments, nursing homes, churches and schools to get the books into kids’ hands. Distribution in Grand Marais, Lutsen, Tofte and Grand Portage was assisted by Sawtooth Mountain Elementary School, Birch Grove Community School and Great Expectations School. The book is also available to home-schooled youths through a local school.
