This flip-sided book is wonderful. The front side is titled "You are a Gift to the World" and tells about all the wonderful ways that children are a gift to this world. The other side reminds us how many wonderful gifts are given to us this world. This book is a beautiful reminder that the best gifts aren't bought, made, or pre-thought they are the very things that make life more precious. The most treasured gifts ought to be the things that we seem to take for granted most: laughter, song, smiles, trees, flowers, animals, waterfalls, clouds. Both books end the same way "You are a gift to the world and the world is a gift to you. So as you travel through life, you see all the ways it's true." Laura Duksta has done an impressive job with this children's book. What a wonderful way to let your child know how very special and unique they are!

I loved this book and so did my grandson. This is a flip book, one side was from the point of view of the mom and flip the book over and it’s from the point of view of the child. The story goes through a day and all the times when the mother and child hug. Hugging is so much a part of the growing up of a child, that this book is really easy to identify with. The illustrations of the animals are gorgeous. They are bright, colourful and fun! I recommend this book to every family. It would also make a great shower gift for that new mom!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
