I love the message and the colorful imagery. The text is compelling. But it has a problem that I often identify in new writers, namely that the story is driven by a message. In other words, there is no plot. Regardless, Christian did a wonderful job creating relatable characters through the small conflicts you discover in the pictures. You Matter is an example of a picture book driven by a message done well. By Christian Robinson Next time you face writer's block, use this 7yr old girl as an example. J.R.R.

You Matter
You Matter is an interesting book. I love the message and the colorful imagery. The text is compelling. But it has a problem that I often identify in new writers, namely that the story is driven by a message. In other words, there is no plot. Regardless, Christian did a wonderful job creating relatable characters through the small conflicts you discover in the pictures. You Matter is an example of a picture book driven by a message done well.
