Our Wonderful You

OUR WONDERFUL YOU is a heartfelt celebration, of the deep love that parents have for their child. The book has rhyming text, with detailed, beautiful illustrations, that will delight both children and adults.

This is a TRUE STORY! Kealy Connor Lonning is inspired to write about her six children, and this book is about her firstborn son.

The new parents were thrilled:

Our newborn had arrived--a special gift to hold.

We're glad you joined our world--our treasure, yes, our gold.

This touching story follows a baby growing up, through the toddler, childhood, and teen years, graduation, and beyond. The parents lovingly guide his journey, as he develops confidence, wisdom, and pride.

Parents can relate to the stages and emotions, including the bittersweet time, when their big kid leaves home. As these parents send their beloved son, out into the world, they say to be kind and brave, and follow all your dreams. And at the end of the story, you will see, that is what he does!

This lucky child, unconditionally loved by parents and grandparents, resonates with kids who get to see/hear the story.

OUR WONDERFUL YOU can be shared with the special child in your life! It also makes a great gift for occasions like baby showers, birthdays, and graduations.

THIS HEARTWARMING, INSPIRATIONAL STORY is reminiscent of the works of children's book authors: Nancy Tillman (Wherever You Are, My Love Will Find You), Marianne Richmond (You Are My Heart; If I Could Keep You Little), and Emily Winfield Martin (The Wonderful Things You Will Be.)

OUR WONDERFUL YOU shows how parents proudly watch their children grow up, promote their self-esteem, and savor their moments together. It appeals to children ages 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and up, and to adults. The book is great for teachers and students in preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, and up.
