    Annotation

    Rhyming verses describe many of the reasons for celebrating one's unique qualities.

    bookreview.com - Zanne Marie Gray

    "While technically this is a children's book, it carries such a strong empowering message that we have placed the review in "Self Help" as well as "Children's books." This is easily our favorite children's book of the year. Marianne Richmond speaks to the specialness and uniqueness in each of us. In both her verse and her delightful painted illustrations, she celebrates the individual in such a fashion as to make each of us believe she wrote it just for us. As this book made its way through our office, each person who rad it, form our 16 year old summer intern to our 62 year old programer, returned the book with tears in their eyes, feeling better about themselves, and wanting to share it with someone else. This book made me want to have children just so I'd have someone to read it to. It is the perfect book for any child, the perfect book for that friend of yours who is feeling a bit down, and the perfect birthday present for just about anyone. It is destined to be a classic. "

    Having "You-ness"by SVSU_Grad_Student

    July 20, 2009: "Hooray for You! A Celebration of 'You-ness'" has an important theme for all ages: be happy with who you are. Early childhood children are young and impressionable. Richmond's book celebrates uniqueness. She defines "you-ness" as being distinct and special individuals. Her book would help my early childhood students think about their unique qualities that make them special. I love the painted illustrations depicting children smiling over their "you-ness." The illustrations would capture my students' attention.

    My preschool students enjoy sharing about themselves. I would use this book at the beginning of the school year to begin celebrating our new classroom friends. The book would also work well to reinforce individuality in an "All About Me" unit.

    If you like Hooray for You! A Celebration of "You-ness", I also recommend Todd Parr's books below. They celebrate diversity, individuality, and uniqueness. The illustrations are also bright and intriguing.

    I Also Recommend: It's Okay to Be Different, Family Book.

    July 08, 2008: I am a first grade teacher and this is one of the books I use in the beginning of the school year. I love the simplicity of her message and the whimiscal way it is presented. Society places great pressure on how we should look, dress, and act. This book reminds kids and grown-ups alike to embrace their unique qualities.
