If You Plant Corn
If You Plant Corn, the foundational pilot book of the Moral Literacy Initiative, uses the powerful metaphor, “What you plant determines what you grow,” to teach children how actions shape habits, habits build character, and character determines outcomes, fostering accountability, empathy, and moral reasoning in a gentle, non-punitive way.
This title introduces a clear cause-and-effect model children can apply across school, home, and peer interactions. Through story and reflection prompts, learners begin to connect behavior with results—building early responsibility in a supportive, non-punitive way.
