To My Child was written for my daughter, Scarlett. The story is actually a poem, and is meant to introduce young children to some important ideas about life. The advice or messages within the book are expressed as the main character, a little girl, receives valuable advice from her mother. As the story moves, the little girl engages in activities and adventures that correspond to the ideas introduced by her mom. The book describes the importance of being unique and imaginative in order to create your future. It encourages children to think freely and dream big. For example, the main character uses her imagination to envision herself as the captain of her ship. She also climbs a rocky mountain and reaches the top proudly. The story also touches on the magnitude of kindness, as the little girl returns a purse to its owner who left it behind at the park. Finally, the book introduces the idea of gratitude. The little girl happily wakes up each morning and feels thankful for each new day. The illustrations and words depict optimism, confidence, and joy for life. I hope that, by hearing this story often, the ideas will settle within the child hearing them and create a positive impact for all readers and listeners.
