The Golden Rule

by Ilene Cooper

This book is a gentle reminder of a timeless rule for parent and child: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.Everyone knows a version of the Golden Rule. But what does it really mean? And how do you follow it? In this gorgeously illustrated book, a grandfather explains to his grandson that the Golden Rule means you “treat people the way you would like to be treated. It’s golden because it’s so valuable, and a way of living your life that’s so simple, it shines.” And though it may be a simple rule, it isn’t easy to follow. Fortunately, following the Golden Rule is something everyone can do, which means that every person—old or young, rich or poor—can be a part of making the world a better place.F&P level: O

This surprise just came in the mail today. Definitely a bedtime book this one is beautiful. A book with a book waking in the middle of the night remembering to say his prayers. As each page beautifully portrays his prayerful wish children all around can see examples of good things to pray for. This is also a great dialogue starter for thinking about and considering people who need your thoughts and cares.
