Digby Takes Charge

Reach for this book when your child feels overlooked or struggles to find their voice among loud peers. It is a perfect choice for the quiet leader who needs to understand that kindness and strength can exist in the same person. Digby the sheepdog is polite and small, which makes it hard for him to herd a group of stubborn, rowdy sheep who do not take him seriously. Through Digby's journey, children learn that while being 'nice' is a virtue, there are moments where you must be firm and assertive to get the job done. The book models the transition from being a passive bystander to taking charge with confidence. It is a humorous and gentle way to discuss self-respect and the importance of finding your own unique way to lead.
