A Door Made for Me by Tyler Merritt
A Door Made for Me by Tyler Merritt is a beautifully written and illustrated book. Lonnie Ollivierre's illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. This book is aimed at children ages five to eight. It greatly saddens me that children this age need to read books like this in our day and age. The book is 40 pages long and measures roughly 9 1/2 inches by 10 1/2 inches with a dust jacket.
A Door Made for Me is a good reminder that no matter what color you are, what you look like or what you are wearing, you are unique and special just as you are. I love how the grandparents affirmed their grandson in this book. I also liked how they said to not give up on the boy who wasn't nice and to keep hoping he would change for the better. There is a page at the back of the book , A Note from the Author, where the author explains how this was his story and the impact it had on his life as a boy and how he wanted to share that story with others. A Door Made for Me invites discussion among the family reading the book or maybe a group at school--wherever the book is read, it could be life changing for those who take it to heart.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions within this review are my own.
