A Great Little Read for Children of All Ages!
This little delightfully illustrated book playfully packs a lot of thoughtfulness about the uniqueness and marvel of every person. It has a wonderful way of creatively instilling a healthy sense of self-love and worth, making it an excellent read for all ages. I have read lots of storybooks together with my son when he was little. We read this book together, except this time he was the story reader. We both loved it and highly recommend it as a gift idea for those you love - especially yourself! ~ Tamara

Great Read-Aloud Book
This book is precious, has an important message, and most of all, is fun to read! Is has a resonating cadence and kids love rhymes. ~ Stephanie S.

A Beautiful Book for All Ages
An absolutely must read for everyone who needs a healthy dose of inner love (all of us!). For all ages this is a beautifully written book that will leave you with a warm glow in your heart. I have read it multiple times to myself and my granddaughters. Bravo to the author! Oh and the illustrations are so sweet! ~ Janet

A Beautiful and Much Needed Message.
Everyone of us is unique and that is something to celebrate. It's okay to be different, and we are all deserving of love are the greatest messages in this book. Beautifully illustrated, and a great book for "children" of all ages. ~ Karen B.

A Hug in a Book
What a wonderful way to build a child’s self esteem! It made me feel good about myself. :) Beautiful and the art work conveys the feelings of the words perfectly. ~ Stephanie T.

Want to Generate Healthy Self-Love in a Child or Yourself? Get This Book!

"Who Else Can Love You?" naturally and effortlessly fills the reader's heart with seeds of healthy self love, warmth, and joy unlike any book I've ever read. This is a perfect book to read to a child, to a classroom, as a gift for an adult friend (with or without children), or my personal favorite, to read to myself! This is a timeless book and a treasure that I find myself coming back to re-read and enjoy again and again.

As a middle aged man who has had challenges and road blocks in healing my own childhood trauma and neglect, I have found that this book, has given me something I've never had before: a natural, authentically loving voice - generated from within ... given from myself and received in my heart.

Self-help and therapy books have been valuable to provide me a cognitive understanding. Therapists have given me a great in-person experience of space and support to look and dive deep within my life experiences and emotions and learn about them in a supportive setting. Yet, somehow, even though I've made much progress in healing, I've still struggled with generating my own feelings of worthiness and self-love.

Just as you do not have to tell, show or teach someone how to "ooohhh" and "ahhhh" or make playful, goofy faces at an innocent baby or child, reading this book has naturally generated joyful and healthy self-love within. It's amazing. With it's natural rhythm and pentameter, thoughtful/imaginative/playful words made simple and inclusive illustrations that encourage us to see the beauty in ourselves and others of all backgrounds, it's a book that brings this wonderful feeling into my heart each and every time I read it.

I have found this book to be an instrumental part of my healing process and journey. It's also a great gift idea. I highly, highly recommend it. Get it! You won't regret it. ~ Mark

Colorful, Attention-Holding, Memorable to the Core!!!
The minute I skimmed the book, I knew I had to have it for my granddaughter. Then, when I actually read it, I knew I had to have it for myself. Pappy and Julia will enjoy sharing this epistle over and over when we share a common time and space as she grows up. I recommend the read to anyone experiencing life through the eyes of either child. ~ Anthony

Who Else Can Love You? YOU !
This book is for all ages, the first 1, I bought for myself the next 2 will be going to my granddaughters, (eldest), I will continue to buy as my other grandchildren progress with age. A lovely story to learn who you are, and that each person/ child can and will be loved by sharing this reading experience. Thank you Dwight E Kobar !!! ~ AC

Uplifting Book for All Ages!
So I can tell you (based on my own personal knowledge and correspondence with the Mr. Dwight E. Kobar) that the author of this book had the sweetest vision for this project. He simply wanted kids and adults to feel good about themselves. And that's it! FUN FACT: there are Easter eggs on every page that hint at something appearing on the following page. I hope you enjoy the read! It is adorable. ~ AC

Fun and Affirming!
This is a fun book with affirmations that we all need to hear. With about two lines per page, it makes for a nice bedtime read or for a quick glance during the day to keep spirits high. ~ BA

Beautiful Book
Such a beautiful book to help heal the inner and outer child. I guarantee you will feel lighter and happier after reading this gem. The adorable illustrations are gorgeous as well. ~ Katie

Lovely Book for Your Child or Your Inner Child
If you're looking for a lovely book for your child or your inner child, look no further! The writing was heartwarming and the illustration was beautiful! I loved it! ~ Leah

Simply Beautiful!
