The author kindly sent me a copy of this, little beauty and I am so happy I read it. As some of you might know, I loved Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls and The Little Book of Character Strengths reminded me of that. It is a lovely fast read and not only for younger readers but also for us, adults, to be reminded of what good character strengths are and to include them in our daily lives.
Also, the illustrations are so so pretty!
Definitely go and check this beauty out :-)

Easy to read and to share with my children. Even if they don’t know certain words, the text makes it easy to explain!
