I Am Enough by Grace Byers
4.0

An easy read specifically written with the intention of empowering children.

The text rhymes and flows in a very simple sing-song way, with easy to understand metaphors and bright simple illustrations.

The illustrations specifically focus on girls (although the text does not specify in any way which I think would be an interesting point to see if children would pick up on or not). It has a great range of representation, physical and racial mainly, but focuses on the worth of all individuals.

The book is centrically Christian, but only carries it lightly throughout, without any force, just enough to use as a discussion point of Christian values if wanted to.
