BOOKS FOR KIDS

You are special | Max Lucado

In this heartwarming children's tale from best-selling author Max Lucado, Eli the woodcarver helps Punchinello understand how special he is. It's a vital message for children everywhere: that regardless of how the world evaluates them, God cherishes each of them, just as they are.

What a unique find!  I don't like the name with "slam" in it.  This is a compilation of questions and responses from children with siblings with special needs in a journal style.  The reader is encouraged to journal along with the authors.  It is beautifully done and really helped my kids to understand that they are not alone and that others have challenging feelings about their siblings too.  I highly recommend it!

A bad case of the stripes | David shannon

Have you filled a bucket today? | Carol Mcloud, David messing

 It's all in the bucket, that invisible bucket that follows you everywhere.. This book teaches young readers valuable lessons about giving, sharing, and caring. This guide to daily happiness, though, is not just for kids. We all need reminders of the benefits of positive thinking and positive behavior..
