D.W.'s Library Card

Reach for this book when your child is eager for 'big kid' milestones like getting their first library card or signing their own name, but might be intimidated by the rules that come with new privileges. D.W.'s journey captures the perfect blend of excitement and anxiety that accompanies increased independence. It follows the spunky younger sister of Arthur as she works hard to master her signature and then navigates the high stakes of being responsible for a public resource. This story is ideal for children aged 4 to 8 who are entering the world of communal sharing and literacy. It validates the pressure kids feel to do things perfectly while modeling resilience and the importance of taking care of things that belong to everyone. Parents will appreciate how it turns a standard library visit into a lesson on civic responsibility and the satisfaction of earned achievements.
