Dotty Helps Homeschool Kids Develop Sound Values Early
Here is a book that has all of the features that our family looks for when we are shopping for books. It's also published by a great Christian publishing company that caters to families with younger children.

Dotty's Topsy Tale is written by children's book author Donna Shepherd and illustrated by artist Kevin Collier.

It is highly recommended as a self-esteem booster and affirmer for kids and is part 2 of a sequel. It delves into the topic of discrimination and supports community-building values and living by a higher standard.

It espouses the value of change -- we don't always have to live the way we were raised to live, especially when that was based in untruth or ignorance. These are much needed topics of discussion for children to understand while they are young and developing a foundation for their character that will carry them through the rest of their living years in this world. In the face of all of the infamous leadership failures we've all witnessed in recent years, high-quality character development really needs to be at the top of the list of priorities for all educators in public, private, and home schools.

Bravo, Donna!

Also, the illustrations are stunning due to Kevin's use of contrasting and complimentary colors. Our oldest is an aspiring artist and really enjoyed the pictures.

This is our official review as we have added this book into our homeschool curriculum for 2009.

We keep our homeschool blog on tumblr.com, it's called jkidscrew. We plan to add our review to our blog, too.

Turning Children Topsy Turvy
Dotty is a sweet little hippo, friendly and kind. She's smart. She's a lot of fun. But, she's also pink. Not just pink but REALLY pink. Everyone else is purple. How did that happen? Does it REALLY matter that she's pink? Come and enjoy the fun while learning that the outside doesn't matter at all.
