Because of You: A Book of Kindness
by B.G. Hennessy, illustrated by Hiroe Nakata
Ages 2-8 24 pages Candlewick April 2011 Hardcover    

“Each time a child is born, the world changes,” writes the author of this little book. Then he goes on to explain why the world is a better place because of each new arrival.

“Because of you there is one more person who will grow and learn and one more person who can teach others.” This list goes on and one until you reach the end of the book.
“When people from different countries help, care, share, and listen to one another, it is called peace. Even something as big and important as peace begins with something small and precious. It might begin because of you.”
With its gentle narrative underscoring the preciousness of your child and how important each individual is, this book is perfect for those tender and warm moments when you want to share some heartfelt thoughts with your child.
