As parents we try to instill important life values and life skills in our children. We want to teach them skills on how to help others, love others, and themselves. There are so many ways that we can help our children learn these lessons. One way is by being an example for them. Children usually mimic the things they hear and see from their parents or other individuals in their lives. Another way is by reading books. Books that especially show their favorite characters being excellent leaders and saving other people. Lego artist, Nathan Sawaya, has an excellent children book series: The Adventures of Hugman, that is a wonderful resource for helping your children learn the important things in life.
The Adventures of Hugman
Nathan Sawaya is putting down the brick and picking up the pen for a new series of children’s books: The Adventures of Hugman. These books are timeless stories for kids ages 2 to 5 that follow a little brick buddy named Hugman as he and his friends think outside of the box to tackle problem solving, highlight the benefits of collaboration and teach important lessons of friendship, self-confidence and respect – all while exploring the endless possibilities and creativity with LEGO.
Inspired by Nathan’s street art sculptures and illustrated by Maarten Lenoir, each hardcover book in the series is 32 pages of engaging artwork and is great for both read alouds and readers alike.

- The Adventures of Hugman
