Early children's literature plays a major role in attitude formation. The attitudes children form about aging will play an important role in how successfully they age. This annotated booklist is a compilation of carefully selected early children's literature that contains positive, meaningful portrayals of older adults and promotes positive aging. Books on the booklist portray aging as a natural and lifelong process of growing and developing, present similarities between young and old, show young and old enjoying each other and learning from each other, view older adults as valuable and contributing members of society, and help child to think about life's later years. The books can be used to help children see the potentials of aging and think in terms of "lifespan activities", activities they do now and can continue as an older adult. Books that focus on death, dying, disability, dependency, disease, and dementia are not synonymous with aging and are not included on this booklist. The booklist includes a listing of the author's favorite books in print and a multicultural listing of books that illustrate racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity.
