I Am Important

Author: Mrs. Talona R. Coleman

I Am Important was written to empower, inspire, encourage, and to offer hope to children of all ages. It resonates the message of the importance of acceptance of self as well as others. We each were created differently; which makes us unique and important! God has perfectly designed each of us with purpose; and illuminates beauty and creativity within all. We are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:13-14). It is a reminder to all children that they can do anything, and become whoever they want to be (Philippians 4:13). This book teaches that as we learn to love ourselves, we can willingly express and show love, empathy, and compassion to others in spite of our differences. It also conveys that when we accept one another; we have made the choice to demonstrate love; and Jesus Christ is glorified! This is a vivid reminder that Jesus will always love us because he is the Creator of us and our diversity!

As a bonus, a daily affirmation, an interactive song, a word build, and suggestions on how to teach children acceptance is included in this book. These learning tools may be used to assist parents, guardians, and educators as they teach valuable lessons on acceptance. As we teach the younger generation the importance of acceptance; this will empower them to cultivate love in the world in which they live!
