Who Are You?: A Little Book about Your Big Identity

In today's world we are being told to be "true to ourselves" more than ever before. Movies, TV and social media tell us we are whatever we can do, be, look like, or accomplish - and it never seems to be enough! The author reminds us that while these are good things, we are first image bearers of God - and that is where our identity begins. Written in a fun way, this book communicates a great truth. My granddaughters loved this book!

What makes me me? What gives me worth and dignity? Every person asks this question. Christina Fox’s excellent little book takes its readers through the different places we can be tempted to seek identity—our skills, other people’s opinions, etc., and leads us to what God says about our identity. This would be an excellent addition to any family’s regular reading to help equip our children to find their identity in the true place.

I love this book. It conveys a timely and satisfying answer to the question, “Who are you?” This is a question we have probably all asked ourselves before and this book does a great job of pointing kids to the truth with such love. It feels like each line has been chosen with care and a heart that every child would know whose they are. Knowing the truth truly is like finding treasure, just like this book.

This is such a confusing message for kids. I can see the attempt of connecting God to the kids' identity but it also strips them of any of their uniqueness. It tells kids that their uniqueness shouldn't be celebrated or really shouldn't matter at all. For a kid, this would make no sense. My child was asking what was the purpose of everyone being different then? Why does any one have interests or personality trains or physical differences. I think there are so many approaches to take when raising kids to be loving of God but I do not personally feel like this is one of them. It brings up more questions for kids than it does answering them.

A cute book for creating or confirming identity in kids. No social undertones. No Trans, no sex changes, no trophies for participation. Just "you're made wonderfully and I love you."
