                                                      ‘I Am Generous!’ by David Parker

                                           This book is about generosity and talks about how
                                           children at this age are typically in the egocentric phase of

                                           development. They want to know ‘What’s in it for me?’ The
                                           message that the author wants to send out is that children

                                           will feel good when they do something for someone else.

                                           This book models what children can do for others right
                                           now in their lives.
