books for youth that teach
Anti-racism, compassion, kindness, LGBTQ-InCLUSIVE,
empathy, ​tolerance, patience, respect and more... 


The list below is in no way comprehensive of the books that are available to help nurture the development of character in children, that list would be just too long.   We've chosen to share instead, just a few books that we frequently incorporate into our Well-Bean classes.  You'll also find a few book lists below that we think you'll find helpful!
