Build Strong Families with Stories

Strong families support a child's success in school and in life. Through ongoing research, Search Institute has identified actions, called Family Strengths, that all families can take to grow stronger together.

The books in this section model behaviors that families can adopt in order to grow stronger, from Expanding Possibilities to Sharing Power. Each title has been paired with a FREE downloadable reading guide designed for parents and caregivers that includes activities, discussion prompts, and key ideas to take away from the story. Click here to download all of the guides in one document.

Build Strong Families with Stories is a joint initiative of First Book and Search Institute, with generous support from Disney.
