I Am Enough by Grace Byers
Empowering and poetic, I Am Enough offers readers a powerful message and engaging illustrations that blend whimsy and realism. While it isn’t a traditional story or specifically Christian like the other two books in this post, it is full of positive affirmations celebrating that everyone and everything has a purpose.
“Like the sun, I’m here to shine.” —I Am Enough
It’s important for kids to learn to embrace all of who they, including their differences. I Am Enough encourages kids to see differences as by design and not as flaws. It’s what I most loved about this book.

This I Know is a delightful story about seeing God’s love in the world around us. Over the course of the day, a young girl and her family travel from home to a camp ground far away. The young girl shares the ups and downs they encounter while relaying the message of God’s love.
