You Are Special (Board Book) (Volume 1) (Max Lucado's Wemmicks, 1)

"You Are Special" beautifully delivers a subtle Christian message without alienating those who may not identify as overtly religious. The story touches on themes of self-worth, acceptance, and the power of genuine love and appreciation. It is a message that transcends religious boundaries, reminding us all of the importance of embracing our uniqueness and the value we bring to the world. As someone who often gifts this book at baby showers, I appreciate its inclusivity. It has the power to touch the hearts of individuals from various belief systems without imposing any specific religious ideology. Max Lucado, as a Christian author, artfully crafts a story that can be appreciated and cherished by people from diverse backgrounds, fostering understanding and connection. The illustrations in "You Are Special" are captivating and enhance the storytelling experience. They beautifully complement the heartfelt narrative, engaging both young and old readers alike. The combination of meaningful text and visually appealing artwork creates a memorable reading experience that leaves a lasting impression.

This is a beautiful story and one of my favorites. Love that it can come Ina board book for little ones to hold. I've bought it a few times.

I love this book. I read it to a child. I was babysitting and fell in love with it. I bought it for my granddaughter and look forward to reading it to her. I love the message in the book. Max Lucado has a wonderful way with words. The illustrations are sweet too.

Great book! Love the message this books holds! Would definitely recommend this! This makes a good gift for new babies!

This is the review for the small board book, but I also bought the regular hardback full book. This is a wonderful uplifting story for any age. I ordered two of these board books because I love the regular children's book by the same title, and so did my many classes of second graders. This is a story about acceptance, self worth, and God's love, although the woodcarver represents God and His love for us; God is not mentioned. The book remains very "politically correct" for those who are concerned about such, and is appropriate and helpful for any child. This is a sturdy board book version, but unlike most board books, this one has a good bit of text for its size. Therefore it is suitable for reading to children well past the toddler stage. For babies and young toddlers the pages can be briefly paraphrased if desired, and the illustrations are lovely. Highly recommend any version of "You Are Special."

I love this book so much—I struggle to not cry every time I read it. It’s been by go to book for baby showers or young kids birthdays, such a sweet way for kids to learn that what other people think of you only matters as much as you let it.

You Are Special by Max Lucado is truly a classic. Over the years, I’ve given this book to countless friends and families, and it always becomes a favorite in their homes. The message is simple yet powerful — a reminder of where our worth truly comes from — and it resonates with children and adults alike. Now, as an empty nester and a follower of Christ, I see more than ever how much the world needs this truth. This little story has the ability to shape hearts, encourage faith, and bring families closer together. Whether it’s read at bedtime with little ones or gifted to someone in need of encouragement, this book is a must-have on every shelf.

I love this book. My grown 30-year-old daughter looked through our bookcase of many childhood books while visiting at Christmas and wondered why we did not have a certain one that she could not remember the name of. I used the clues she gave me and found this book and mailed it to her after the holidays. She was delighted and told me that of all the books read to her during story time at school, this was her favorite. This is a beautiful story!

Lo mejor las ilustraciones. El libro lo he usado para dárselo a mis nietos.

Bellissimo, peccato che non esista in lingua italiana...

Schnelle Lieferung. Die einfache Verpackung führte zu geknickten Ecken, aber es soll ja benutzt werden.

Chegou bem embalado, porém o que me surpreendeu foi que o livro é bem pequeno, não me atentei ao tamanho, paguei 27,90. Decidir devolver, mas fora o tamanho não tenho nada a reclamar.

Buen libro, en forma de fábula , para niños arriba de 6 años, está de buen tamaño y material, además trae dibujos de buen tamaño , es lectura sencilla pero se puede tener un gran mensaje
