Zoe draws a map, Patrick searches for playmates, and Owl-eye the meerkat looks for answers. It’s all about perseverance in Nooksy’s books about never giving up for kids.
Life can be tough. Especially when we look at it from our little ones’ point of view.
They’re constantly having to learn new things, grapple with new emotions, and navigate new situations. It’s no wonder that sometimes it feels like the easiest thing to do is just throw up our hands and give up.
But these situations present an opportunity for kids to learn the value of perseverance.
Perseverance means never giving up, even when things get tough. It's about facing challenges bravely and continuing to try our best, no matter how difficult something might seem.
Through the stories contained in Nooksy’s books about doing hard things, children will learn that it's okay to struggle and that success often comes from trying and trying again, and never giving up in the face of adversity.
Let’s check them out together.
