Everyone has their very own gift...one that they can give.

Each person has a gift. Maybe it's to dance or sing. Or maybe it's something much more subtle like helping to cheer up a friend. No matter what the gift, it's one to share and give.

The first thing which draws attention to this book is the beautiful, happy, glittery cover with bright butterflies. It sets the joyful and encouraging mood found within the pages. This is a book full of encouragement, hope and warmth. It starts with the question concerning the various talents each person might have, and the search for a person's special gift. Gently, the topic slides into the realm of talents each person has which can be used to help others—even very subtle ones are extremely important.

Each page radiates happiness as the question of gifts and how they can be used is lightly explored. The illustrations are bright, diverse, and illustrate every day situations kids can relate to, while still being fun to flip through. The text is in large print, making it easy to use as a read-aloud. The vocabulary is simple enough for younger listeners and short enough to hold even more easily distracted kids' attention.

The message in this book is empowering and shows that each person has a talent, and the most important thing is knowing how to use the talent to give to others. It gives ideas on what an person's gift might be, everything from coloring a picture, to giving hugs, to cheering others on or even something more complex like playing in a marching band. It's a wonderful book, which proves a point while still keeping it fun enough to make an enjoyable read.

I received a complimentary copy through Booklook Bloggers and found this to be such a lovely read that I wanted to leave my honest thoughts. ( )
