Reviews
An engaging, encouraging primer on how to develop one’s skills to make the world a better place. * Kirkus * The gifts of children shine as bright as the stars in the sky…no gift is too small and no gift should be dismissed. * Penticton Herald * Perfect for a conversation about social and emotional skills….a great springboard to talk about the important skills we need as humans and how sharing our gifts impacts those around us. * @myliteracyspace * Among@ParentsClub Book Recommendations * @ParentsClub * Champagne’s debut picture book presents a simple, practical call to action for young readers, making it clear that embracing one’s true self is beneficial not only for oneself but for the world around them. Tiff Bartel’s cheerful illustrations, via dynamic, active images, depict a diversity of children and their gifts, thereby complementing Champagne’s inclusive message.Recommended. * CM Association *
