Read Aloud Rhymes for Any Size Heart" is a hopeful and encouraging collection of poems written by Joy Resor and beautifully illustrated by Lauren Connell. It contains 26 poems that will delight any young child. It's a fully illustrated, trove of poetry that covers many topics starting with each alphabet - attention, balance, change, dance, energy, forgive, happy, grateful, imagine and kindness, to name a few. This poetry collection is a celebration of the humor, rhythm, wisdom, and words. What a wonderful way to introduce the young child to the love of poetic verse. Joy Resor's fun rhymes are sure to draw in children.<br /> <br /> We love that there are a great many positive, self-affirming messages covered in this beautiful book for all ages to soak in a nice little remedy against some of the other messages out there that children are exposed to! We have fallen in LOVE with the whimsical illustrations. The pictures are so unique, soft, precious and warm. We found ourselves so fascinated by the magical images on each page that we paused long after the words were read to absorb the beauty and detail. The characters in the story are drawn with such care and each one is so unique and incredible.</p><p>When reading aloud, it is always enjoyable to be able to read a story with a steady, easy to follow the flow. We think that Designed to Shine is laid out in a comfortable series of rhyming poems without being sing-songy. Each page contains a short poem while the captivating illustrations tell the story right along with the written word. The language is vivid, fun and adds character and creativity to this amazing rhyming book.<br /> <br /> Designed to Shine gratifies and teaches kids to love and accept themselves for who they are! It also shares other valuable life lessons. It brings pleasure, as well as instruction, to its readers. Memorizing and reciting the beautiful poems from this book can be an ideal activity for you and, for your child. Joy Resor has done a wonderful job in writing these amazing poems that rhyme, are short, and have instructional value. These imaginative poems, illustrated by the brilliant Lauren Connell, will surely inspire your young poets. We highly recommend it to not just children, but people of all ages!</p><p>Jedlie</p><p> </p><p>I love this book, especially that it speaks to children as if they are naturally wise and can understand anything. And they are and they can.<br /> <br /> Joy's book introduces some rather sophisticated concepts in easy-going, carefree ways. Here's a tiny sample that will give you an idea of how she does this: "CHANGE, we all feel it. It's how the world rocks. Tight tulips that open, clock hands which tick tock!" and so on.<br /> <br /> Concepts such as wonder, love, attention, zest, nature, or being happy, quiet or grateful, and many more, are explained in kid-friendly terms, but they also lend a calm hand, a relaxed reminder to the one reading, which is quite a nice double-duty sort of thing.<br /> <br /> The book rolls easily as you read it aloud. The rhymes are delightful, the illustrations are colorful and lighthearted. I highly recommend this bright package of words and pictures!</p><p>T. Crosby</p><p>Designed To Shine, by Joy Resor, is a Master Peace. It is appropriate for children, adults or for the child in everyone. Joy uses her rhyming skills to present us with a new way of looking at and responding to life. It is both profound and easy to read. I found it a welcoming book. Joy's wisdom and magic are deeply felt. There is a uniqueness to this book that makes it fun to experience. The illustrations are colorful and exciting and connect smoothly with the poetry.</p><p>Stephen Corwin</p><p> </p><br>
