THIS STORY IS FOR YOU is such a kind, soothing and heart-warming book!
A book about friendship and never forgetting those you love...
The narrator gently "speaks" to the child telling them how they're unique by pointing out all the things that make everyone different from each other. How we all see and interpret people and things differently. And no matter where they go, they will know how to recognize them and remember who they are, because they are unique and special to them.
It's the perfect book to read to the children in our world today. A reminder that no matter what you look like, where you came from and where you are going - you are loved and someone special.
It's also a great book to give to a child who will be moving away, especially to a different place where they may feel a little out of place at first and may get homesick.
The illustrations are vibrant, yet simple. They fit the story and mood very well. Lots to look over and engage in conversation pertaining to the story!
This sweet book just oozes love, reassurance, and comfort!
