AlbakiReads Editorial

Mentorship in more than one part of life

Josh Shipp draws on his experience as a former foster kid to introduce mentorship as something that can take different forms. The book considers how mentors can help with hobbies, skills, mental health, and the challenges of growing up, and asks whether a child needs one mentor or several. Its coach-for-different-sports comparison gives the idea of multiple mentors a concrete frame. The book also invites children to think about becoming mentors themselves, placing guidance and mutual support at the heart of its subject. Designed to prompt conversations between children and grown-ups, it addresses how young people can recognize and seek out helpful guidance.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children exploring what mentors do and how to find them
  • Families and other grown-ups looking for a book to start conversations about guidance and support
  • Young people interested in helping or mentoring others

Book overview

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.
