You Might Be Special!

Reach for this book when your child starts comparing their skills to others or expresses frustration that they are just ordinary. It is a perfect choice for the preschooler who feels overshadowed by a sibling's talent or the early elementary student struggling to find their own spark. The story uses a clever, humorous lens to show that being special is not a fixed trait but a matter of perspective: a tiny bug might feel small in a forest but like a giant in a dollhouse. Through a series of playful scenarios involving animals and insects, Kerri Kokias explores identity, self-confidence, and belonging. It is a gentle reminder that every child is remarkable when they find the right environment or 'ecosystem' where their unique traits can shine. Parents will appreciate how it deconstructs the pressure to be the best at everything, replacing it with a sense of wonder about where we fit in the world.
