Why read it?

2 authors picked You Are Special as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

When Max Lucado writes–I listen! He's a dream to read, and his books are always full of wisdom and advice. When I saw this children's book by him, I knew I had to get it for my kids, and I was not disappointed. 

The lessons are profound, my kids are engaged, and his writing is, as always, on point. You find God on every page, and the truth of the Gospel of Grace abounds. I couldn't recommend this any more highly than I do here. I'm happy that it is a part of my children's book repertoire.

I recommend this children’s book because the theme of learning how to value yourself is relevant for not only young people but also adults.

This great fictional story centered in a tiny city where people spend the day putting either dots or stars on each other depending on what they or don’t like about the person.

There is one fictional character who doesn’t allow anything to stick on her because she knows her own value and worth.
