Certainly, classic kid’s books such as Huckleberry Finn or The Yearling do not come along on a weekly basis. But the criteria that defines these books as enduring and endearing is perpetual and constant. Books that are passed along one generation to the next are marked as special in that they never focus on a fad or momentary fashion. Instead, books that will become classics exhibit the framework of positive uplifting messages. These books teach our children to be compassionate, brave and to have faith in God. This is not to say that a great children’s book is pigeonholed into any one faith. It is more that the best books for kids extol the immense value of belief in goodness.
