Product Description
Mom's Choice Award Gold Recipient, Category: Juvenile 1—Self help
Thirteen adventure stories introduce children to the concept of virtue and demonstrate how virtuous behavior can make the world a better place. Each tale is built around four of the 52 virtues that have been identified by The Virtues Project™, a global grassroots initiative that inspires the practice of virtues in everyday life. The collected stories bring the virtues to life in lively, entertaining adventure tales designed to be read aloud to young listeners. Each tale is followed by clear, age-appropriate definitions of the virtues for the adult reader and the young audience to explore. Discussion questions are also provided to draw the children into a conversation about each story. These interactive tools foster a more profound understanding of the virtues, help children put each virtue into context within their own experiences, and provide a rich environment for learning—while young and old enjoy the thrill of a well-told yarn.

Great book - highly recommended, Aug 15 2010

This review is from: The Adventures of Mali & Keela: A Virtues Book for Children (Paperback)
This is a great book. The stories are exciting, the illustrations are lovely, and the way the virtues are weaved through the stories is very nicely done. Rather than being labored or old-fashioned as some books in this genre are, this is a really fun and relevant read.The adventures are beautifully written for kids. I was very impressed with the well thought out descriptions of virtues that the characters had demonstrated in the stories. The section at the end of each story was great for getting discussion happening and it really helped to get the children thinking and talking about virtues.
If you're looking for a book to read with your kids that is practical and rich in moral substance I highly recommend this one. There are valuable life lessons for everyone in this book. This should be on the bookshelf of every home, and they should put a copy in every classroom too!
