I am still a firm believer that books are such an important part of children’s lives. Of course since I am a librarian that means I am trained to say that but its true and there is tons of research out there to back it up. Personalized books always seem to be extra special for little kids because they know that book is just for them. Stepping Stories books help make parenting easier through personalized books that help young
children (ages 2-5) with various transitions and milestones. Through
simple language and illustrations, the books help children build
social-emotional skills that allow them to cope with a variety of
issues.

They have 8 little hero characters to choose from so you can pick the one that most resembles your child. Then based on the title and the information needed for that book you can include a photo dedication page, names, one of 8 adult images that will read the book as well as the detailed information such as allergens, etc. to fit into the storyline of the book.
Their most popular titles/topics include: “Food Allergies?, ?Death of a Pet?, ?Divorce/Separation? and ?Bedtime.? You can buy them in print format or in ebook format. For little kids these issues can be a big deal and with these little books they are written in a way for them to understand. Their name is right there on the pages so the story can seem more “real” to them. The books are here to help parents as educational tools and resources. Some of the titles correspond to events you never want to have to deal with but they do happen and when they do even the littlest of kids needs help understanding and processing what is going on. Get one of these books and cuddle up somewhere comfy and safe and using an appropriate tone read the book to them. You might be surprised how much little kids can learn from a good book.
