Books That Make You Feel the Power of Loyalty, Nobility, Friendship—and Share Them with the Young Ones Children's books with positive, uplifting messages are a great way to not only introduce children to reading, but to give them a baseline of virtues, with ideas that impart life lessons to help them grow. And empathy, courage and friendship are all thematic virtues found in the Bookfest-Award-winning "Bunky and the Walms: The Christmas Story." Aleksandra Tryniecka, the author, a poet, writer and Assistant Professor at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Poland, as well as a poet and fiction writer.
