When my girls were 4 and 6 they had a favorite book called You Are Special
, written by Max Lucado
. This book is a WONDERFUL, INSPIRING tool that will help to instill an understanding of what and who God is to us. It is a heart-warming tale of an adorable little wooden-person (Punchinello) who faces the "judgement of others" - and overcomes his own self-doubt by "meeting with his maker" - a most gracious and loving maker who reminds little Punchinello that he is loved for who he is... not how much he has, or what he can and cannot do - simply for who he is.

It continues to inspire my little ones - who are now 6 and 8. :) Happy reading and God Bless.
