The Crown on Your Head



 


I am so excited by the discovery of this new book--The Crown on Your Head-by Nancy Tillman. It is beautifully illustrated...but more than that it is a story to share with the people you LOVE whether young or old. It celebrates the beauty of each of us----a reminder of how "special" we are. Read it aloud. 

An excerpt:
"On the day that we met and I put you to bed, 
I noticed a crown on the top of your head.
It was made up of sparkling, glimmering things.
Like moonlight, and fireflies, and dragonfly wings."

I brought several to Bambi's so that you can see for yourself....
it is a delight....beautiful words, beautiful art and a beautiful message--one we all need.
