Snuggle up with a young girl you love and share this beautifully illustrated picture book woven with messages on true beauty, identity, and God's unending love. As a primer for first conversations about body image, this book will instill deep truths while weaving in fun facts about nature and God's creation. Bestselling children's book author, Laura Wifler, wants girls to know . . .
The same God who made both the otter and pearl,Is the God who made you--yes you, my sweet girl.
You're made in His image; He knit you together.
Your worth never wavers--not now, and not ever. Research shows that attitudes about body image and self-esteem begin forming in children between the ages of three and five and only become more widespread and problematic as they grow. Many people's answer to this problem is to "look within," "trust your heart" or "try harder" to muster up your own value and worth. Your Worth Never Wavers sends a better message: true worth and beauty is found by gaining a higher view not of ourselves but of God, the creator of everything. Journey with a diverse group of mothers and daughters as they explore the wonders of creation from colossal canyons to boisterous beehives. Each illustration celebrates God's handiwork from nature to his design of people, showing women and girls with different skin tones, body shapes, hair types, and abilities. On each page, a child learns fun facts about creation and that the same God who made tigers, snowflakes, sunsets, and stars, is the God who fearfully and wonderfully created each person perfectly in his image. This book is a catalyst for conversation between young readers and their loved ones about body image, identity, and God's unending love. By teaching girls the source of their worth and value, they'll have foundational truths to lean on when doubts arrive, reminding them that they are beloved by God and declared beautiful. His love is all around them; all they must do is look.
