Book Reviews of Because of You
Book Review: Part of a bigger picture
Summary: 5 Stars
Hennessy welcomes a child in and includes him as part of a bigger whole. What hope he brings that one of us can open the arms of peace. What a wonderful vision to share with our little ones.Book Review: Someone small...but a piece of it all.
Summary: 5 Stars
How small and powerless our children must feel sometimes. This book simply and beautifully conveys the message that each person, no matter how small, does indeed matter as an individual and as part of the whole. It also incorporates the concept of inter-relatedness with others, such as:
"Because of you, there is one more person who will grow and learn and one more person who can teach others," and
"Because of you, there is one more person who needs help
and one more person who can help others."
It ends wonderfully: "Even something as big and important as peace begins with something small and precious. It might begin...because of you."
After I read this aloud to my 5-yr old he was full of hugs and cuddles. He seemed to have gotten a genuine feeling of love and self-appreciation from the book.
Simply lovely and utterly important message for our children to receive.
For more on this concept see "Horton Hears a Who" by Dr. Seuss, the poem "Who Am I?" by Felice Holman (from which I borrowed my title).
Book Review: Sweet book!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a sweet, positive message for little ones. I love that this book drives home the idea that a happy, peaceful world can start with a little child. The illustrations are beautiful and the message important. I have already bought another as a baby gift. If you like this one, you'll also enjoy "My Book of Thanks" by the same author and illustrator.Book Review: my 2 year old enjoys this book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is targeted to a very young age and might also be good for early readers because there are only a few words per page. My two year old loves it and the illustrations are beautiful. It isn't a "storybook" that you would sit down and read to a 5 year old.Book Review: nice, big, picture book
Summary: 4 Stars
Cute book. A nice way to plant big ideas into little minds. It is a good sized book and colorful.
