God Made You Special

by Eric Metaxas, Bryan Ballinger, Big Idea Inc.

Bob’s red and round, and he bounces ‘cause he has no feet. Madame Blueberry lives in a tree. What makes her special? She’s as blue as can be. What about those French Peas? They speak with “zee accent.” Tots will discover that it’s okay to be different, because God made you special and he loves you very much. Through fun rhymes and humor, and some help from those lovable Veggies, little ones will realize that God makes everyone special!"

Here’s the thing, deep in my bones I am SO willing to cheat at my reading goal if needed. Also abi said I wasn’t going to do it and so if this it what it takes I’m completely fine with it.

Had this book since birth. Great way to teach kids to love who they are. Appreciate their differences.

[Angela Rueger]

This poetic book does a fantastic job of pointing out that God made each of us with distinct appearance, abilities, and so forth so we could fulfill a particular purpose. "God made you special, and He loves you very much!" Larry says that in every Veggie Tales video, and this book is all about that truth.

Kiddo loves VeggieTales and this was the perfect used bookstore find for her. A relatable and accessible way to talk about everyone being unique and worthy of love.

What's not to love about Veggie Tales? The illustrations are cute and the message is simply about differences making each one special.
