Why Am I is soothing as a lullaby. Lush illustrations engage children immediately, and the musical text speaks to their hearts. It recognizes that children have big questions and that we can respond gently and without moralizing. Reading Why Am I is a beautiful way to start the morning, a calming break in the middle of a busy day, and a sweet way to say good-night. Vivid verbs acknowledge that being is action. Other carefully crafted words invite a sense of peace and joy. It's a helpful book to share with children during trying times, and an equally wonderful book to read in moments of joy and wonder. Conceived as a book for children, this is one of those poetic pieces that is likely to become a comforting adult favorite as well. Beverly Abrams Mother, Lifelong Educator, School Founder and Administrator This beautifully illustrated book uses inventive rhymes young children can easily relate to, with an invaluable message about importance and significance. It cleverly moves through the day and touches on feelings about nature in a way that children can understand. As a daycare owner I'm excited to introduce this magical and engaging book during circle time. As an author I'm incredibly inspired by the vocabulary, message, and creative pattern. As a mother I look forward to using this book to help my children understand the significance of every person, animal, and thing! Shayna McCarthy Mother, Daycare Owner, Author of More Bubbles This beautifully written and illustrated book is filled with love and fosters a deep appreciation for the contribution of all life to all of life. It celebrates our natural world and explores purpose and meaning. Inspiring and uplifting!
