Thomas Nelson: Only You Can Be You for Little Ones: What Makes You Different Makes You Great

Kids are all different - some love to dance and laugh, while others sit quietly and create stories in their heads. That's okay because the Creator made us this way! In this first board book, bestselling author Sally Clarkson and her son Nathan inspire children to discover their strengths. Drawing on themes from their first book 'Different', which tells Nathan's story of growing up with mental illness and learning disabilities and Sally's journey of unconditional love, 'Only You Can Be You for Little Ones' helps kids embrace their differences and celebrate those of others. Tim Warnes's whimsical illustrations paired with irresistible rhymes reassure children of their uniqueness. Whether they're quiet, artistic, funny, or boisterous, kids aged 4 - 8 will love this heartwarming read. It's a great resource for kids who feel they don't fit in or aren't understood, and an encouraging read for neurodiverse children and those on the spectrum.

To use this book, simply sit down with your child and read it together. You can take your time to look at the pictures and discuss what's happening on each page. Encourage your child to share how they feel about the story and how it relates to their own experiences. There aren't really any strict 'dos and don'ts' when it comes to reading this book, but make sure to create a calm and comfortable environment for your child to enjoy it. As for maintenance, just keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the pages from fading. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. That's all you need to do to keep this wonderful book in great shape for your child to enjoy again and again.
