"I love this book!

Tom Listul has a way of putting words together not only in a song but also in books, and this one, in particular, speaks to our children . . . and to us adults as well. It makes us remember that we are ALL SPECIAL in our OWN UNIQUE WAYS!!! As God's creations, we are perfect in His eyes and He does not make mistakes. We should embrace our individuality!!!"  —Connie Lee, country music artist and TV and radio personality
