Book Reviews of Because of You
Book Review: A treasure for your child's library
Summary: 5 Stars
As an elementary school teacher & mother of two small girls, whose passion is reading, I am always on the lookout for great children's books.
I first found out about this beautiful book when it was highly recommended by a children's book review site.
After reading it, I could not agree more. The watercolor illustrations, done by Nakata, are adorable and children are easily drawn to them. They really complement the text, which is where the real treasure lies.
What a wonderful, enduring message to reach little hearts! It shows how one small person can make a difference while teaching valuable life lessons. For example, Hennessy writes,
"Because of you, there is one more person to share with. And there is one more person who can share feelings and ideas, as well as things....one more person who can help others... When you help, care, share, & listen, you are being kind. When two people help, care, share, and listen to each other, they are friends."
The whole book is a gem, and I recommend it for children of all ages. It is definitely part of our collection.
Summary of Because of You
With gentle, joyful illustrations, this celebration of the potential in each person illuminates the simple ways the world can be a better place ? because of you.Each time a child is born,
the world changes.
Each child brings to the world one more person to love and care for ? and one more person who can love and care for others. As children grow and learn, they can teach others and share feelings, ideas, and things. Just as each of us sometimes needs help, we can also find ways to help others. The author and illustrator of MY BOOK OF THANKS reunite to show, through everyday examples, how acts of kindness, understanding, and generosity ? no matter how small ? can make all the difference in the world.
