Get on Out of Here, Philip Hall

Reach for this book when your child experiences a crushing blow to their ego or a public failure that leaves them feeling ashamed. It is especially helpful for children who struggle with perfectionism or who feel they must always be the best to be worthy of respect. In this classic story, Beth Lambert is a headstrong, ambitious girl who lets her pride get the better of her during a leadership competition. When she makes a major mistake that results in public embarrassment, she must navigate deep feelings of jealousy and shame. This story is perfect for children ages 8 to 12 as it provides a realistic look at how to rebuild self-confidence and mend friendships after a fall from grace. It models how true leadership is found in humility and service rather than just winning.
