This week’s story is called “I am Enough,” written by Grace Byers and pictures Keturah A. Bobo. The story is a straightforward paean to self-worth, self-determination and “living in love rather than fear.” It is interesting to read this story to a mixed group of boys and girls because all the characters in the story are girls, but the message of loving who you are and being kind to one another is kind of universal in its scope. As with all the stories I share, these stories “work best” when you discuss them with the children in your care. You can’t just open up a book, read the words and expect it to be to be edifying. I hope you like it and find it inspiring.
