Publisher's Description

When a child feels left out, makes a mistake, or is called a name that hurts their heart, how can they know their true identity? Bestselling author, spoken-word artist, and thought leader on identity Hosanna Wong reveals that you aren’t defined by what you’ve done or what others think—you’re defined by what God says about you. Hosanna’s powerful message uncovers an important truth for kids today: no one has the power to define you but the One who created you. And God says you are His friend. You are a work of art. You are His child. And you are greatly loved. A perfect read before bedtime, and during tough times, this picture book is for ages 4 to 8, highlights scriptures that unpack the life-giving names that God gives us, includes whimsical illustrations from Liz Brizzi, is inspired by Hosanna Wong’s “I Have a New Name” viral spoken word poem, and is the perfect gift for back-to-school celebrations, baptisms, holidays, or seasons of transition. As kids search for the right words and labels to understand their worth, What God Says About You will strengthen them with affirmations to discover who they really are.
