A Kids Book About Mentors

A kid’s guide to the power of mentorship, featuring advice from a foster kid turned motivational speaker.

This is a kids’ book about mentors. Mentors are life-changers. They guide us, inspire us, and help us grow into the best versions of ourselves. But how do you find one? Should you have just one?

This book was made for kids aged 5-9 and breaks down these big questions in a way that's easy to understand. Written by Josh Shipp, a former at-risk foster kid turned best-selling author and youth advocate, this book empowers kids to see the value of having mentors in every part of their life—whether for hobbies, skills, mental health, or simply navigating the ups and downs of growing up.

Josh explains why having multiple mentors, like having different coaches for different sports, can help kids thrive. With engaging language and relatable examples, this book inspires readers to seek out those who can help them grow—and to be mentors themselves someday.
