Kids of all faith traditions will receive in these pages the gift of empowerment, purpose, and ownership over their own faith perspective early on through Matthew Paul Turner’s lyrical phrasing:
     
    I'm playful and brave
    I'm a one-kid parade
    I'm gonna be who I am ‘cause I'm wonderfully made

    • The truth that God loves us deeply, and delights in who we are

    I am God's dream!
    I'm a human sunbeam.

    Watch me light up a room
    with my confident gleam. 

    I'm playful and brave. 
    I'm a one-kid parade. 

    I will be who I am
    'cause I'm wonderfully made.
