With just two or three simple sentences per spread, each volume provides a series of examples to illuminate an abstract character-building concept: "Lola raises her hand. Her teacher trusts her to follow the rules." Some examples seem overly simplistic, but these are adequate conversation-openers about complex topics. Bright, relevant stock photos featuring a diverse cast of children accompany the texts. Glos., ind.
