You're Here for a Reason by Nancy Tillman

Now available in board book, You're Here for a Reason, from national-bestselling and beloved author Nancy Tillman, takes a universal truth and makes it accessible for readers young and old.

Not only are we loved, but we also matter. In this tender and timeless read-along book, Tillman reminds us of this message in beautiful illustrations as children and animals interact with acts of kindness.

You're here for a reason. If you think you're not
I would just say that perhaps you forgot . . .
a piece of the world that is precious and dear would surely be missing if you weren't here.

If not for your smile and your laugh and your heart
this place we call home would be minus a part.

Thank goodness you're here!
Thank goodness times two!
I just can't imagine a world without you.
