The "I" in Integrity

The “I” in Integrity written by Julia Cook and illustrated by Kyle Merriman is a wholesome children’s story. 

The story demonstrates several ways that a child may have their integrity challenged throughout their day to day life. Cora June goes about her day half doing things or making promises that she has no intention of keeping.  Her mother and teacher bring up integrity and by talking to her about her actions they teach her what good integrity is. 

The illustrations were gorgeous, colourful, and fun. 

At the back of the story, there is a help manual for parents and educators on more ways to help your child understand integrity. It goes into daily practices and how kids are looking to adults for examples. 

This is a book I plan on purchasing for my young cousins, nieces, and nephews, along with friends with young kids. It will be read to our kids one day, as integrity is a subject so important to both my husband and me.

I generally don’t mention the publisher, but I think Boys Town Press is worth mentioning. When looking into them, they produce “kid-friendly titles to teach social skills.” Something I really believe kids need today more than ever.

I received an electronic advanced reader copy from Boys Town Press through NetGalley. All opinions are 100% my own.
