You're Always Enough: And More Than I Hoped For by Romina Galotta, Emily Ley
4.0
This is a sweet book that instills confidence and value in a child, told from a loved one’s point of view. These are words every child needs to hear and believe. As an adoptive parent, I couldn’t help but imagine a child in foster care or a newly adopted child hearing these words… What a wonderful gift of reassurance these words could be.
This is certainly a book that a parent, grandparent or caregiver should read to a child, out loud and often. It mentions the pride a reader feels for having the chance to call that child theirs and the opportunity to love them. Though a tab bit lengthy, it assures children that no matter how they act or what they do, they will always be loved, accepted and enough; that God created them for a purpose, to be who He has made them to be and that they are treasured by Him. That is such a powerful message to impact a young mind. I do wish this story had a bit less "fluff" and more depth as to WHY a child is always enough, with a deeper Biblical message but it is still sweet and we can use it as a jumping-off point to have that more meaningful conversation with our children.
I loved the sweet, darling illustrations with diversity and subtle tones. This book is just beautiful from it’s soft embossed cover and fun, relatable illustrations, to its easy to understand phrasing and the significance of the message of devotion from the reader to the listener. A must have for any child’s library and a wonderful gift, especially for a foster family, adoptive family or child celebrating a baptism or salvation.
