Attention all superhero fans! This one is for you! As I was working on an upcoming post about how to work with children to help them develop social and emotional skill development and prepare them for school, this awesome book series came to mind, and I wanted to share it. We have it in my library system, and it is awesome. It is the DC Superheroes Character Education series by Christopher L. Harbo featuring various illustrators. These books present character traits such as loyalty, fairness, and patience in a way that kids can easily relate to - through some of their favorite superheroes. Concepts that are challenging to explain to young people in a way that they can truly understand are done in such a way that kids can connect them to the actions they see presented in these books as well as other materials they may have seen featuring these characters.
There are 10 titles in this series:
- Superman is a Good Citizen
- Aquaman is Fair
- Wonder Woman is Respectful
- Green Lantern is Responsible
- Batman is Trustworthy
- Batman is Loyal
- Supergirl is Patient
- Wonder Woman Perseveres
- Superman is Cooperative
- The Flash is Caring
They are colorful and eye-catching, and I have a difficult time keeping them on the shelves of my library which really isn't a problem at all! Visit your local library and check them out. If they don't have them, suggest them. Not only are these concepts important ones for children to learn as they prepare for school, they are simply just ways to be a good human. Maybe some adults should read them. Just saying...
