This whimsical and heartwarming children's picture book follows the journey of a young boy as he discovers his inner strength.
"Why am I different? Should I wear a hat to cover my scar?"
“Am I Star? Am I Scar?”
This book is a love letter Inspired by God directed to the children of "Gift of Joy" and our own children. They have learned to persevere and never quit, to overcome unimaginable hardships. Many times they felt like quitting, but they refuse to be broken. Many had to battle against rejection by parents, wondering why they were left behind. We heard them say, "I'm too short." "I'm not pretty." "I'm stupid." We've even discovered adults struggle. But every person has been gifted with strengths. Our hope is that children and adults will discover their God given strengths, so they also experience restitution & their superpowers so they become a GIFT to those around them.
This book was created with a purpose: to help children and adults recognize their God-given strengths and understand that they are a gift to the world. The lessons of perseverance, overcoming hardships, and never quitting are woven into every page, offering encouragement for both children and the adults who guide them.
Join us in spreading hope, strength, and love—one book at a time.
