Childrens Books for Adults
There are several children's books that are written for those of all ages. Some of these make excellent high school graduation presents, as they serve to tell a story that is suited for someone who is about to start a new chapter in life.
Below are some great options for children's books as graduation presents.
- The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
This beautiful and poignant book, first published in 1964, is truly timeless. It is many a person's favorite book of all time.
The words and pictures in this book depict a relationship between a boy and a tree. It shows how the relationship changes over time, as the boy matures into a man, and it gently reminds us of the importance of giving. It is sad in many ways, yet it shows the purity of a generous spirit, in this case as represented by the tree.
- Oh, the Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss
This book is as perhaps the most popular children's book given to high school graduates. The topic of the book is very appropriate, as it addresses various aspects about the journey one takes in life.
This book was the last book written by Dr. Seuss, and it was published in 1990. It has the look and feel of other books by this beloved author, but its message is very much for the person who has life in front of him.
- The Chronicles of Narnia (set) by C.S. Lewis
C.S. Lewis was one of the most brilliant minds of his generation. His famous Narnia series is often read by teachers to elementary students. But it is wonderful reading for high school graduates as well.
The first book in this set is called "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." The Narnia books tell the story of children who go into another magical world, one in which they learn many things. The books send clear messages about right versus wrong, and they contain a great deal of symbolism based on Christianity.
- Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer
This book series probably makes a better present for girls than guys. It is all the rage these days, and tells the story of Bella Swan.
When Bella moves to the state of Washington to live with her father, she falls for the high school heartthrob. What she does not realize at first is that this guy is actually a vampire!
While these books were written to target young adults, they have been a huge hit for people of all ages. There is something addictive and fun about the books, and it would make for good summer reading for the recent high school graduate.
In conclusion, these are a few book ideas for someone who has graduated. Be sure to personalize the present by adding a handwritten note in the inside book jacket.
