Join local author Mrs. Talona R Coleman as she reads from her two children’s books: I Am Important: Teaching Children Acceptance and You Matter: Teaching Children Self-Worth.
About the Books
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 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! As we accept one another; we have made the choice to demonstrate love; and Jesus Christ is glorified. This is a reminder that Jesus will always love us because his Father is Creator of us and our diversity!
You Matter was written to empower, inspire, encourage, and to offer hope to children of all ages. This book reassures them that they are important and worthy! It resonate, the message of the importance of children understanding and knowing their self-worth! This book is a reminder to all children that because God created them with purpose and potential; their worthiness comes from the Lord and not others! It helps them to understand that when they put their trust in the Lord, they are blessed (Jeremiah 17:7). As children learn to trust the Lord; they can then begin to understand that God has great plans for their lives (Jeremiah 29:11). The chatter of others may try to discourage them; but even with their flaws, God sees them as perfect! God is busy molding us and shaping us to be perfectly flawed. No we are not perfect but God is shaping us to be used for HIS PURPOSE and GLORY!
