I am passionate about children's literature and teaching them the importance of our world history, to further these lessons, I have chosen ten short stories that describe situations that revolve around values such as empathy, solidarity, friendship, and courage. I share these stories in hopes that they will inspire young readers and show them that positive lessons can be taught, even during a destructive war.
That is what history is all about - learning from the past and a willingness to use past events as references to build a better future. It allows us to be better prepared to face the challenges that life throws at us.
