Great for a "chosen" adopted or foster child

This was a favorite in my home with my young (bio) daughter. When my husband and I became foster parents I read it to my foster daughter and used it to reinforce the idea that we "chose" her. She loved to hear the process that we went through to be able to have her live with us. She understood that we would choose her "everytime"!

Blessing your child!!!

This is a wonderful little book for children and adults alike, and it focuses on giving the blessing to children, much as Trent has written in other books, but this one is focused on the children, and what impact that can have on them.The story follows Norbert and the fact that no one wanted to sit with him on the way to school. And his way to school is exciting - they all go on a rollercoaster. Now that's what I call creativity. Judy Love has done some marvelous illustrations, and you just want to jump on this rollercoaster with all the others.A great tool in the hands of parents and caregivers to give the blessing to children.

Wonderful!!!!!

I volunteered to read at an elementary school at a Read in and the class consisted of 2nd,3rd, and 4th graders- The teacher loved the story and the kids absolutely enjoyed it. I'm ordering 2 copies-1 for my 7 yr. old and the other copy I'm going to donate to the class.

It is our child?s favorite book.

"I'd Choose You" is a great book to help a child gain self-expectance. It has colorful illustration of animals that are used to help a child understand the five elements of the blessing: spoken words, meaningful touch, attaching high value to someone, picturing a wonderful future and genuine commitment
