Ah! This is such a sweet, sweet book with a beautiful message--one that I can't impart enough to my children. Thanks, Lisa Leonard for creating this book, and thanks to Zondervan Kids for sending an ARC my way for review!

Your Spark:
Is written by social media sensation and jewelry-maker Lisa Leonard
Shines with the universal message of self-acceptance and is a celebration of what makes us all unique
Inspires children to shine in their own unique way
Features a tactile cover that sparkles with glitter
My Review:
We all are uniquely and wonderfully made, it says so in Psalm 139:14; I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. God made each and every one of us with a special place just for him and made us all different. In Your Spark: Celebrating the brightest part of you! the author reminds us just how truly unique we are to the Lord and to each other. This is a hardcover book with lots to love including the precious illustrations and sweet words.
It is a sweet book with tons of encouragement!

“Inside your heart there is a spark. It shines bright and true. It’s what makes you, you!” Lisa Leonard begins her children’s book, Your Spark: Celebrating the Brightest Part of You.
~ What ~
This thirty-two-page over-sized hardbound targets children ages four to eight years old who like stories about what makes them special. With no scary scenes, its focus is realizing that there is a spark inside that makes us the way we are.
In this short book that has broad, colorful illustrations, it concentrates on how God made each of us differently, with a unique spark inside us. Using designs of fireflies that glow, the book portrays that what is inside of you shines brightly for others to see and notice.
~ Why ~
This is a thoughtful book that promotes to look at the inside of a person, not on their looks or appearances. I like that it includes different nationalities, body types, and even those with disabilities. The book explains that the spark inside of someone makes them brave, clever, determined, gentle, kind, silly, and wise to name a few.
~ Why Not ~
Some may not a book that mainly focuses on oneself and no one else, although this may be helpful for an insecure, timid personality. Others may not like its reference to God, but His name is only mentioned once. A few may find some illustrations rudimentary with undescriptive backgrounds. Beginner readers may struggle with the three- and four-syllable words.
~ Wish ~
While I appreciate the concept that what is inside of us and how we treat others is more important than our outward appearance, I wish the book portrayed how God loves us no matter who we are and it is He that makes us shine brighter, not ourselves.
~ Want ~
If you are looking for a book that encourages being the person you are meant to be by encouraging the inner you, this is a viable read for a young one.
Thanks to Z-Blog Squad for this complimentary book that I am under no obligation to review.

I didn't really care for this book but I'm not sure why. Maybe it seemed too New Age - you power the universe though it doesn't exactly say that. I do agree we are all individuals and unique but I don't know. Like I said something hit me wrong but I'm not sure why.
If you are looking for a book that celebrates that part of you that makes you unique then maybe this is for you. Don't take my word for it. Check it out for yourself.
I was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.

I used this book to teach my Sunday school kids that its okay to be different but, in the end we all have a spark that makes us who we are. We have to love and accept everyone around us . This book was so cute and the children seemed to like it and stay entertained.

This is a cute easy read. The pictures are well done and thoughtful. The writing itself is fun and easy to read. A fun little book that would work for a classroom or night time reading.
