There are many role models to be found in literature; For Pre-K and under, check out these great suggestions; for Elementary: Ramona Quimby and Junie B. Jones are great series; for Middle Grade and up: Harry Potter (who doesn’t love Hermione?), Anne of Green Gables, Helen Keller: The Story of my Life, The Diary of a Young Girl: Anne Frank, and Julie of the Wolves.
