You’re Here For a Reason

When a boy lets go of his kite as he stops to help an elephant, it travels on the wind and a variety of wild animals re-purpose it in useful and fantastical ways that the boy will never know. An act of kindness has been set in motion, and children will see that feelings, ideas, and actions that initially seem bad can result in good outcomes. This rhyming picture book for elementary students explores the ideas of resilience, belonging, gratitude, growth mindset, and that each person has a unique impact on the world. The digital and mixed media illustrations are fantastical, whimsical, and compelling.
