Growing Up Books For 7-Year-Old Kids

Growing up can start to feel more complicated for 7-year-old kids, especially as friendships change and children become more aware of themselves and others. These stories may follow characters dealing with peer pressure, hurt feelings or the challenge of figuring out where they belong. They work well for independent reading or conversations about confidence, empathy and growing up.
