Books with title You are Special

Every child needs to hear the words, “You are special" and yet most never will. This children's picture book story was written to give individuals the opportunity to read these powerful words to those they love! The story is about a robot that was made differently than everyone else. The pages contain the personal confrontation of these realities. Through a series of events the robot gets to hear the words, "You are special and there is a purpose for you here." I believe this book will embed this powerful truth deep in the subconscious of every child and that when the difficulty of this reality surfaces in their lives that they will be able to combat the lies with truth!

You might think you know why someone teases others, but as you will learn in Because You Are Special, it might not be the reason you think.

Jethro is a little pony who feels useless, because all the other horses at Peter's Pony Farm are ridden every day, but no one wants to ride him. The other animals, Chicken, Lamb and Cow, all tell him that he is special, but Jethro disagrees and has little self-esteem. Until one day, a little neighbour girl named Jennifer starts to visit him. Peter, the owner of the pony farm, asks if she wants to ride Jethro, and he finally gets ridden! Then other children want to ride Jethro too and he realises that he is special after all. The idea for this story came when co-author Glynis Bloomfield saw a pony on a cold, wet day looking sad and alone in a paddock. After her granddaughter, Tiana Torres-Thomas, visited a pony farm, You ARE Special, Jethro! was born. This is Tiana's first book and Glynis' fifth book. Glynis Bloomfield and Tiana Torres-Thomas live about 4,000 kilometres away from each other in Australia. Glynis lives and teaches in a remote indigenous community in the Northern Territory, while Tiana is a primary school student in Melbourne. Tiana helped her grandmother write this story and as well she drew the main characters and helped make the collage pictures. Glynis has been a teacher for twenty-seven years, has three adult children, and ten grandchildren. As a teacher, she believes in storytelling and the importance of imagination in learning.

You Are Special Just The Way You Are Phibian the frog compares his body to other desert animals and even two-legged beings. After wishing, he was like the other animals he discovers he is perfect and special just the way he is. About the people and animals represented in this book. I have combined a wee bit of Arizona's archeology, ethnobotany, and fauna to weave a story of coming to terms with and loving yourself for just who and what you are. There are 24 frog species in the state of Arizona. The Arizona tree frog which loves the area around Central Arizona (above 5,000 feet), is one the state's best-known frogs. It became recognized as the state's amphibian 1986 when school children nominated it part of a contest held by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Frogs have been a symbol of water for the First Peoples for hundreds of generations. The ancient Hohokam people, who lived in the area from Mexico northward into what is now known as the Verde Valley, loved to paint their pots with the various animals that lived around them. They lived in this area from approximately 1 CE to 1425 CE. For them and many of today’s people, frogs represent water—a valuable resource in the Southwest! The Hohokam had a great deal of respect for these incredible amphibians. We should as well. My favorite frog, the Tarahumara, is feared to be extinct. Many of Arizona’s frogs are endangered due to destroyed aquatic habitats. Tarahumara frogs were stream-dwelling and never far from permanent water sources where they laid eggs, become tadpoles, and lived as adult frogs. Meet Phibian, my imaginary friend from long ago.
