A board book like no other, this title is a piece of art that literally shines in sunlight.  Each page contains circular paper cuts, some containing colored inserts. The simple but thought provoking text complements the colors chosen for each individual page.  And then there are the circular illustrations which carries the theme and intent of the book. There is great emotional value within the text that will not be missed by children and adults.

You Are Light is the complete package, it is a perfect book for toddlers at home and nursery school environments. Try to read this book where there is a source of light so viewers can appreciate the full experience.  All public libraries need to make this purchase and families are encouraged to use as a gift book for preschool events/parties. A special recommendation for religious institutional collections.
