Make no mistake, I really love this book. As a mom myself, I read this and instantly teared up as the author so perfectly articulated the message I have always wanted my children to carry with them. What better gift to give your child than the knowledge that you know they are MAGNIFICENT and that they carry that magnificence with them always. This book celebrates the potential for greatness in every child, and does it with a sense of whimsy and joy that lends each page an aura of celebration.The illustrations are very well done and glow with the crown's magic on each page. What better way to send your child off to bed than with this message of love? I'm not really sure if a four year old is really going to get this, but it sure isn't going to hurt. The poetry is seamless and has a wonderful read aloud flow. So what if it seems to be written more for parents than kids? It still offers up a wonderful bonding opportunity and an excellent chance to remind your preschooler that they are special. Recommended.
I am a Mom. My sons are in their late twenties. This book so captured and reignited the treasure and the pleasure of having my little guy in my lap, savoring magical artwork, slowly and with love, reading these meaningful words to them. I was delighted when Tillman thoughtfully explains that EVERY child wears a crown of light and that there is no one's is brighter or duller. As much as I felt that "my child" was so special, I love including all children. Thank you Nancy Tillman for including ALL children. SUCH a vital and important reminder.The illustrations are breathtaking and worthy to rest upon the page to take in the colors, visions, and details. The red-caped butterflies in the woods, the tree house JOY, the abandonment with BELIEVE, the elephants, and the zebra... my oh my. I feel as if I've experienced my little guys in my lap ~ thank you. There's a smile on my face that began in my heart.THIS is a beautiful and special book to share with young ones. The suggested age is "4" and up... For me, I wouldn't want my boys to wait that long to take this in. Definitely it's for the parent to hold, as the 32 pages are not toddler-proofed. It is definitely a book to keep "special" and repeated "often".What a beautiful pond-rippling gift of LOVE.
Every Christmas for many years I have bought each of my children a special book that attempts to tell them how much I love them & how special they are. They are now ages 41, 37 & 34 & they still look forward to receiving their book. I have bought several of Nancy Tillman's books for them & loved them all. My children have also. She does a beautiful job of portraying the love of a parent for their child & saying how special all children everywhere are. This book will definitely be one that I will give my 3 kids. The illustrations are exquisite! So beautiful...as are the words on every page. Even though it is written for young ones, I think my older ones will really appreciate what it says much more. The words flow from page to page with the crown over the head of the child. I especially loved the last page "A Note From Your Crown". This is just an absolutely beautiful book. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!
This book is WONDERFUL! I love Nancy Tillman books for children! They are the most beautifully written books I have ever read. I have purchased every single one she has written for both my son and my daughter, and hope she continues to write more. Thank you Nancy Tillman...I highly recommend ANY of her books!
This is a decent book by Nancy Tillman, but it seems to become a bit too obsessed with the crown itself. It's really a metaphor about how special each child is, how wonderful, how loved. This is a beautiful concept, and one that's repeated in all of her books.However in this book the author seems to become fixated on the crown, rather than what it represents. The reader is asked to pledge their belief in the crown, feel the crown, think about the crown. The crown is just a concept to drive home the specialness of each child — the most important point is not the crown, but what it represents. But for some reason the author loses sight of that and just keeps talking about the actual crown. It starts to feel strange after a bit.
Interesting story, with the conceit that each child is born with "a crown"-- something wonderful that makes him or her special. The cover illustration is my favorite within the book. While the story is nice, it isn't a favorite. I think this is because the illustrations don't work as well as those of the author's previous books. The combination of computer-inserted photos and painted images doesn't work well, at least for my eyes-- the pasted-in images seem to float in space in a strange way, looking like afterthoughts to fill in empty space. I found this very disappointing, since the illustrations have been what I really loved about Nancy's Tillman's books.
