Picture book. This is a very touching story that has a great rhyme and a great moral. I can imagine using this to start off class on the first day of school. It is much like Dr. Seuss's "Oh the Places You'll Go," and it is very heartwarming.
Read for my god son before I give as a Christmas gift. I think he will love this!
I was lucky enough to get my hands on an arc of this lovely book yesterday. Martin has done it yet again, as I was brough to actual tears by this heart-felt and touching observation of the children in our lives. Powerful words coupled with magical illustrations will make this book a perinneal favourite. I would happily gift this book to every single person I know if I could.
Sweet book for parents to read to their children - full of encouragement and hope, with a touch of magic
I can see why this very sweet picture book has gotten a lot of hype as the next generation sibling to Dr. Seuss' "Oh, The Places You'll Go!"
Beautiful, soft illustrations and positive, open-minded text make this a great gift for soon-to-be parents and caregivers, a nostalgic gift for young adults leaving home, or just a gentle read to a little one anytime.

My favorite so far out of Martin's hipster three collection. The most readable due to it's lilting tone.
The voice of a parent narrates this book that looks to the future for a young child. The narrator has known from the time the child was very small that they were special, big-hearted, wild and wise. They also emphasize that the child is unique, because it’s the first time there’s been YOU. The emphasis here is on living a life that is bold and interesting but first and foremost it has to be filled with love. And this picture book shines with it.
This simple book focuses on celebrating the potential of each and every child, telling them that they are special and unique and important to the world. The book is written in rhyming couplets that have a gentle rhythm to them, creating almost a lullaby on the page and a wonderful way to send a child off to sleep.
The illustrations are lush paintings that change from one page to the next, showing different families and different children on each page. This furthers the idea that every child has this potential inside of them too. The families are ethnically diverse and most of the pages only have one parent shown, if any at all. The focus is on the child.
This would be a great new baby gift or with the way that it ends with the child growing up, a graduation gift too. But it’s best place is being read aloud to children so that they can understand how incredible they are. Appropriate for ages 3-5.
