You're Always Enough And More Than I Hoped For by Emily Ley Illustrated by Romina Galotta
Children often learn to fear making mistakes. Unfortunately, they often learn that perfection is important. You're Always Enough and More Than I Hope For by Emily Ley was written to help children realize that everyone makes mistakes and that they don't have to be perfect. This book was written to help children understand that they are loved just the way they are.
You're Always Enough and More Than I Hoped For is a large, colorful book. It has 32 pages and is close to 9 1/2 by 11 1/2 inches. This colorful book is aimed at children ages eight and under, but I think it would be good for children up to age ten or so. So many children need affirmation that who they are is enough in today's world where social media can get a grip at an early age and the competition can begin in their minds.
I liked You're Always Enough and More Than I Hoped For in many ways. There is a lot to look at in the colorful illustrations. There are children of differing races and abilities. As well as some facing challenges like a broken arm. It is a book that is quite inclusive and I like that a lot. I also thought the words were encouraging and uplifting to young children. There are a few large words for sight readers like "marvelous" and "willingness: but it would be a great book to read as a family or to a group of Sunday School children. It would also be a great book to give as a gift.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions within this review are my own.
