With most of the holidays behind us, it is a good time to reflect on friends, family, and more. If you have good friends, most likely your friends have great character. Many people are drawn to those with great character.
Caillou was a character that was created in 1990 by French author Christine L’Heureux and illustrator Hélène Desputeaux. Christine wanted to encourage children to develop their own unique characteristics while growing in peace with others and the world around them. She also wanted to depart from the normal practice of using animals in children’s books, and instead used a more identifiable component- humans themselves. Her reasoning was that children could better relate to the stories that she was telling with a human, instead of an animal. Was she right? How does your little one relate to Caillou?

Caillou encourages your children to explore the world around them, to use their imagination, and to have adventures. There’s nothing like using your imagination to solve a problem as opposed to playing hours of shoot ‘em up video games. Which way would you rather have your child spend his or her time?
