David Esposito has done a huge service to parents, educators, and children by creating The Principles of Our World series of books. In this installment kids learn the principle of sacrifice, and like the other books in the series, this one uses several stories and characters to which the young reader can easily relate to demonstrate the principle at hand. Readers are provided with a window into the internal struggles many of us encounter almost daily. More importantly, the book provides a voice of wisdom, compassion, and clarity readers can internalize and use in their own decision-making. While the books are written and illustrated in a manner highly accessible to 4- to 10-year-olds, the author never talks down to them. In addition to teaching fundamental principles for making positive life choices, the books convey that we all have a choice in difficult moments. Rather than acting on our first impulse, we can practice taking a moment to reflect before reacting. Such lessons can have a huge beneficial impact on our relationships and quality of life.
