Every now and then, a children’s book comes along containing a message that is as equally as important for the children to hear, as it is for the adults reading it to them. This is one of those books.
Vibrant, careful strokes of the paint brush combined with simple, repetitive phrases to encourage precocious children doing what they do best - discovering and embracing the world around them, without fear - Tonja captures the heart of the child in her paintings and phrases. The true beauty of the story is that it is also a message that the inner child of every adult needs to hear as well. Tonja reminds us all to continue to be the brave, awe-filled, and persistent people we were as children.
This book, its message, and its incredible artwork, will become a treasure for your family, one that will be the gift of choice at baby showers, inscribed with hopes and dreams for the future reader, one that will be read over and over and over again.
I can’t wait for you to fall in love with it.
