Looking for some good storybooks to read with younger children about relational aggression? An April 15, 2010 article in the Chicago Tribune has several recommendations: “The Hundred Dresses”, “Chrysanthemum”, and “Purplicious”. Reading books together is a great way to start a conversation with your daughter about being an ally to others. As you pick the conversation back up at other teachable moments, you can refer to the book and its characters as a helpful frame of reference. Happy reading!
