About this eBook
YOU, you… God thinks about you.
God was thinking of you long before your debut.
From early on, children are looking to discover their place in the world and longing to understand how their personalities, traits, and talents fit in. The assurance that they are deeply loved and a unique creation in our big universe is certain to help them spread their wings and fly.
Through playful, charming rhyme and vivid, fantastical illustrations, When God Made You inspires young readers to learn about their own special gifts and how they fit into God’s divine plan as they grow, explore, and begin to create for themselves.
‘Cause when God made YOU, somehow God knew
That the world needed someone exactly like you!

What a wonderful book for children of all ages! I truly ENJOY reading this book to my children. The words are intelligent and encouraging, the rhythm is soothing yet engaging, and the illustrations are intricate, bold, and engaging. This book celebrates the everyday while challenging children to continue learning and growing into the person they are created to be. Most importantly, it emphasizes God’s love for each individual child. When God Made You is a bookish treasure to share with each uniquely special child in your life. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and was under no obligation to post a review. The opinions expressed are my own.

What an incredible book for young minds... Not only do I enjoy reading this book to my little one but it's such a great message about who they are. The illustration is out of this world, absolutely remarkable. This is the type of book I wish I grew up reading! This should be a staple in family or school's library.
