      Jeremy Silman's books are great for beginner/intermediate strategy after they've read a few of the total beginner books.

      How to Reassess Your Chess & The workbook

      Complete Book to Chess Strategy

      are both good. They might be a little heavy for a 7 year old but with some guidance I think they're doable. I think I read them when I was 9 or 10 and didn't have any trouble.

      Chess.com lessons are really good too and might even be a better place to start.

      chess master 10 had a great walkthrough tutorial on strategy by josh watzkin that i did around that age, if you can find a copy of it

      Depends on your level and interests, but "How to Reassess your Chess," by Jeremy Silman is an excellent book if you're beyond the beginner level.
