Image retrieved from Big Life Journal Well here it is! My original list of over 80 titles whittled down to the 15 best sources to teach Growth Mindset to Elementary School children, especially primary students. Within this list you will find both fiction and non-fiction picture books, as well as juvenile fiction novels for Read Aloud purposes. In addition, at the end you will find links to a few websites and videos for your viewing pleasure or to supplement your lessons if need be. Included within this post is my rationale, criteria, and analysis of these titles that I chose to be a part of this list. Enjoy! Fiction Picture Books             Pett, M. (2011).  T he Girl who Never made Mistakes. Sourcebooks Jabberwocky.       This book is about a girl who is perfect, she has never made a mistake. Until one day things don't go as smoothly as usual and she makes her first mistake. The unneeded pressure to be perfect is a lesson to be learned from this wonderful book.
