If you need a gift for a new baby or a child’s birthday, I’M SO GLAD YOU WERE BORN, makes the perfect gift. A parent’s (or grandparent’s) love for a child is so strong that it can be hard to put into words for your child. This book shares all the ways your child is special, unique, and loved by you.
The illustrations show diversity among the children, and the words express how proud you are. But, most importantly, God’s love for your child is also shared on the pages. With a rhyming scheme, the pages share all the ways you love your child and how they bring you joy. The book also shares that they can dream big and be anything they want to be.
“The sky is the limit and soon you will see
That you can be anything you want to be.
A builder…
a baker…
an electric car maker…
A mover and shaker…
a loving caretaker…
A painter…
a preacher…
a history teacher…
Someone who studies fantastical creatures.”
The pages are full of lively characters and bright colors. There are kids with glasses or wheelchairs, kids with brown hair or red hair, and kids who dance or kids who look at the stars. But, most of all, the kids are told they are loved, the sky’s the limit, the world needs them, and you are so glad they are born. The message in this book is so important, and this will easily become a favorite read-aloud with your child. Gift this to a child you love today!
