PreS-Gr 2--In this book by Christian TV personalities and influencers Jinger Duggar Vuolo and Jeremy Vuolo, the audience is reminded that each person is created specially by God as part of his bigger plan and that they always belong. This message is reiterated through lyrical language and repeating stanzas, further reinforced through different challenging moments children may find themselves in, like feeling unwanted or alone, being laughed at, feeling peer pressure or being different from others. The writing encourages positive self-esteem, kindness, and concern for others, rooted in Christian ideals and beliefs, but is otherwise lacking originality. Romero's illustrations are colorful and engaging, depicting able-bodied children of different skin tones participating in sports and other activities.
