Not good

Didn't realize this was a religious book. It was really good except for several mentions of god. So if that's your thing, great. But that's not the type of fairy tale we read here.

Lovely for bedtime or Sunday School

This book is overtly religious, with multiple references to God, so it wouldn't be appropriate for use in a public school classroom, but would be a lovely book to read at home or in Sunday School. The overall themes of love and self-acceptance are beautiful and this would be a wonderful bedtime or snuggle time book to shared with a beloved caregiver. Everyone deserves to hear they are wonderful, and enough, just the way they are.

The text is in verse, but sometimes the page breaks come right in the middle of the rhyming pattern, so I stumbled a couple of times reading this. Give it a pre-read if you're going to read aloud. There are lots of expressive words highlighted, so this could be a good vocabulary-builder for young readers. It does seem to go on a bit too long--a pre-K audience might get squirmy before it's finished. But the art is lovely and eye-catching, so hopefully that will help keep young ones engaged. A wide diversity of characters and families are depicted, giving lots of kids a chance to see themselves on the page. This would be a nice addition to community libraries or the bookshelf of a youth minister or Director of Christian Education.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

Children self worth

This is a precious and meaningful children's book to celebrate the life God has given them. When you do the best you can, it will be enough! This illustrated book addresses many situations in a young child's life and shows how the child is always enough!
Great to help boost self-esteem.

This is the book that my six year old daughter needed at this moment.

The way this book is so well written, with positivity, diversity, and just overall uplifting set a great tone for a wonderful read. My daughter has had lots of questions and between God and the diversity of the characters this really hit home for us. I got this book as an e-book ARC but will be looking to purchase it as a hardback too.
