TIGARD, OR, UNITED STATES, April 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Caring Critters and the Alphabet They Share: A Book About Love, Kindness, and Empathy

Caring Critters and the Alphabet They Share by Donna L. Botteen offers young readers a joyful, values-driven journey through the ABCs with heartwarming animal illustrations to engage readers aged 2 to 6.

This charming picture book introduces 26 delightful critters, each embodying a core value that uplifts, inspires, and guides children in how to treat others and themselves with compassion and confidence.

From Ava Antelope's sincere Apology to Zelda Zebra's energetic Zest, every page brings a new character and a powerful life lesson, all wrapped in rhythmic, accessible language that children will love.

The book is designed to nurture young children's social-emotional learning and character development, celebrate diversity, encourage leadership, and build self-esteem. Beautifully illustrated by Alexis Droege, Caring Critters invites families, educators, and caregivers to slow down and engage with children in meaningful conversations about values that matter.

Caring Critters is a loving and impactful resource for helping children grow into thoughtful, confident, and compassionate individuals, and it is perfect for reading aloud at home, in the classroom, or during storytime.
