You Matter by Christian Robinson

This is a whimsical book about self-worth and the interconnectedness of life, & our world. While turning the book's pages, a child will encounter many examples illustrating why they matter.

The book begins, "Near or far, big or small, first or last, you matter."

A true treasure, "You Matter" gets to the heart of why children do matter; not because of how they look, how popular they are, or what they achieve.  They are worthy because they were born, and they offer a unique contribution to this world, being exactly who they are.
