Using children's books for teaching determination and perseverance is one way to help instill these essential values in your students. How many times has the average teacher or homeschooling parent heard the phrase "It's too hard"? Our usual response is "You can do it...never give up" but sometimes children need convincing, they need to see how other people with challenges and obstacles persevered through them due to their determination to succeed. Children learn by example, and children's books are a great source of examples of these important character traits.This children book Lion Who Has Never Given Up, can do just that.  This precious story about Leo the lion is all about perseverance and patience.  Leo, who is  small cub in Africa,  wants badly to find his voice or rather his roar.  Time and time again he tries to roar and startle his peers in the jungle to no avail, they were not impressed one bit and even teased and laughed at him at times...sigh.His sweet and wise mama(aren't we all) kept encouraging him to never give up and told him that one day she was certain he will find his roar and become mighty.  And just as she promised of course he did, he was thrilled and elated to finally have reached his goal and persevered....ROAR!!!  Yay I love a good happy ending.In my opinion this book would be a great tool to give our children a boost of confidence while teaching them to be patient and like Leo the lion they know that if they never give up and try, try and try again they WILL  persevere in whatever they are trying to conquer.I would say this book would probably be best for children ages 3-6.  When you purchase this book you also get  an adorable FREE video version...Bonus!!Blessings,Forest Rose
