You Hold Me Up
This simple, gentle story, accompanied by bright, colourful illustrations, highlights the importance of relationships and connectedness by enumerating the many ways friends and family support each other, such as by being kind, sharing, playing, laughing, singing, comforting, listening, and showing respect. Suitable as a read-aloud for K-2, this Canadian picture book can launch discussions of the importance of caring, empathy, respect, and compassion, and as a resource in a unit on family to demonstrate how the people in our lives support and encourage us.
