I’m thankful for books. Reading is one of my favorite pastimes, and I’m glad that my 9 year old daughter, Liz, has developed a hunger for books, too. As I was reading a bedtime story to her tonight, I realized how thankful I am for quality books. These are a few books that Liz and I have gone through several times. She loves them as much as I do!
1. God’s Wisdom for Little Girls: Virtues and Fun from Proverbs 31. This is the book I was reading tonight. It walks a girl through Proverbs 31 in poetic language that she can understand. The illustrations are also stunning. Liz was given this book for her birthday a few years ago, and she hasn’t tired of it yet.
2. The Princess & The Kiss. All girls who love fairy tales and princess stories will adore this book. I love this one, because it starts teaching children about purity at a young age.
3. When Liz started showing signs of puberty, I knew I’d need a good resource to walk her through it. I found that in The Body Book. It’s written in a magazine-type format, so it keeps a girl’s attention. It’s written from a Christian perspective, and it answers most of the questions girls have about their developing bodies. We’ve also enjoyed several other books from the Young Women of Faith Library.
4. My daughter just loves The One Year Book of Devotions for Girls. She reads it faithfully every day. She even read the daily devotion to her friends when she had a slumber party!
5. It seems that 3rd and 4th grade is when girls start to become a little bit catty with each other. When Liz faced situations like this last year, we found A Smart Girl’s Guide to Friendship Troubles to be an invaluable resource. It’s from the American Girl Library, and it’s not from a Christian perspective, but there is some great advice in this book.
