of character building, to grandparents who are continuing to strengthen
their character. It is for the "child" in every person, from the
cradle to the grave. This book will benefit children who are in
the infancy stages of learning concepts and older children who are
beginning to understand and develop character. Everyone from young
adults who need direction in life decisions, to parents and grandparents
who are looking for a reference tool will treasure this book for
the rest of their lives.

The ABC's of Character was written
to give chidlren and adults alike a basic, simple approach to learning

WHAT is this book about?
The ABC's of Character is a treasury
of twenty-six character traits from Attentiveness to Zeal, from
Boldness to Yielding, from Contentment to eXemplary. Each trait

with a whimsical illustration that even young children can understand.
