You Are Special (Board Book): Volume 1 (Max Lucado's Wemmicks, 1)

Product Information

We should think before we speak and consider how our words may affect others. Even if we say "we were just joking," our words can harm. How God sees Us

Ex: Do you have blonde hair? Do you have brown eyes? Do you play baseball? Do you have two arms?) Activity 2Give each child a ball of playdough or clay. Have them use their imagination to create something "special!"

Furthermore, as individuals, we should decide if we care what other people think of us and what those opinions will do to our self-worth and authenticity. Perhaps we shouldn’t listen to someone’s opinion if it negatively influences us. In that case, should we only listen to the opinions of people that are superior, wise, and older than us? These issues lead to the philosophical question of whether there is a need for individuals to be authentic. For our purposes, we use the philosophical term authenticity in place of using the term special with the children. Questions for Philosophical Discussion Opinions About Others Now, I will admit that when I saw little wooden puppets on the cover of this book, I was truly intrigued, since I enjoy reading books that deal with puppets in general (whether the puppets are cute or horrifying). “You Are Special” is a truly unique children’s book written by Max Lucado along with illustrations by Sergio Martinez that many children and adults will enjoy for the heartwarming message about being yourself. The Psalmist in Psalm 139 talks about how very special we are to God and how He sees us. Psalm 139:14 says - Did I love her with dirt in her mouth? Absolutely. Was she any less of my daughter with dirt in her mouth? Of course not. Was I going to allow her to keep the dirt in her mouth? No way. I loved her right where she was, but I refused to leave her there. I carried her over to the water fountain and washed out her mouth. Why? Because I love her. Based on the best-selling book by Christian author Max Lucado, our newest musical provides an exciting opportunity to explore a vital message: that regardless of the opinions of others, You Are Special!
