Growth Mindset Book Suggestions
The Fantastic Elastic Brain This innovative and timely picture book teaches children that they have the ability to stretch and grow their own brains. | Giraffes Can't Dance Gerald the giraffe longs to dance, but his legs are too skinny and his neck is too long. At the Jungle Dance, the warthogs waltz, the chimps cha-cha, and the lions tango. "Giraffes can't dance," they all jeer when it's Gerald's turn to prance. | Jabari Jumps Jabari needs to figure out what kind of special jump to do anyway, and he should probably do some stretches before climbing up onto the diving board. |
