BUY NOW:
Through playful, powerful rhymes, and vivid illustrations, You’re Here for a Purpose inspires black children to be positive, confident, and embrace their uniqueness. The book affirms each child’s role in the world and holds them accountable for the energy they bring each day. The book also shows that as children grow, explore, and learn they co-create with God a divine plan that uses their talents, passions, and gifts.
From early on, children are looking to discover their life purpose. You’re Here for a Purpose introduces the concept of shaping your purpose by building a strong self-system -- how you see and feel about yourself. By using affirmative words in their daily lives, children can learn to uplift themselves and develop a thriving self-system.
“You’re here for a purpose, I know it’s true…
The world would be an incomplete puzzle without you.
Your brown skin and curly hair are one of a kind,
perfectly crafted -- a beautiful design.
God whispered your name, long before you came.
The world, without you, would not be the same.
To set into motion the path you want to walk
remember, start each day with positive self-talk.”

You’re Here for a Purpose is a great book to give to the Black children in your life. The images are bright and reflect the diversity and beauty of Black people. The words are easy to remember and powerful. It’s also the perfect length for daily reading to help instill confidence and pride in being Black from an early age.

As a parent of a biracial daughter, I appreciate the variation in skin tones pictured in You're Here for a Purpose; as my daughter can relate to and appreciate the complexities of being Black. It encourages Black empowerment for every woke baby. Equally as important, You're Here for a Purpose rebrands what so much of America thinks it means to be a Black father and what it means to be Black. It is for these reasons that You're Here for a Purpose will be a book we go to daily.
