Newbery Award Library II

Reach for this collection when your child is beginning to ask big questions about the complexities of growing up, including how to handle grief, find where they belong, and navigate the bittersweet nature of life. This library contains four seminal Newbery winners: Bridge to Terabithia, Sarah, Plain and Tall, Onion John, and The Wheel on the School. These stories offer a rich tapestry of emotional experiences, from the profound loss of a best friend to the hopeful arrival of a new mother figure. While the prose is accessible for ages 8 to 12, the themes are deeply resonant and provide a safe space to explore sensitive topics like death and social isolation. It is an ideal choice for parents who want to use classic literature to foster empathy and emotional intelligence in their children.
