Thanks to Netgalley and Zonderkidz for a free digital copy.

I adored this book that is cheerleading kids to live into the joy of being alive! The message is fantastic the illustrations are vibrant and full of diverse children and adults. Definitely one to have for your shelves (especially would make a great birthday read!)

This book was a religious book about God's love which I wasn't aware of when I picked it up. As a teacher in a public school I wouldn't be able to use this book, but I wish there was a non-religious version I could read to my students.

As a teacher I try to relay the message to my students that they are special and important, here on this planet for a reason and that they make a difference. I am so glad each one of them exists. This would make such a great book without the religious parts for anti-suicide talks even with older kids.

Cute and has a fabulous message. If it was non-religious it would be the perfect addition for classrooms, libraries, counselling offices and more. Plenty of great lessons for kids to learn. This story was both entertaining and educational, which can be a tricky balance to maintain in a children’s book. Incorporating social-emotional topics such as this into children's picture books is a tried and true way to teach important life skills in a way that is fun.

Such a wonderful book to build up little ones and share the joy of God’s plan for them. Loved the rhythm, the message, and the playful illustrations. Would be an especially great birthday present. I’m looking forward to starting a tradition to read it every year on my children’s birthdays. Highly recommend.

Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

My nine year old loves this book, she said it’s like a hug in a book. She snuggled up and read it and read some bits out loud that she really enjoyed.
Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a cute book with beautiful illustrations. It is religious, but I wish there could be a secular version so we could use it in the classroom. It’s such a great book.
