“The Ball Inside Us, By Candice Kwok, is a beautifully written and illustrated story that instantly captured our hearts. The artwork flows seamlessly from one page to the next, perfectly matching the tone of the story. The gentle repetition throughout the book helps the message sink in for little ones, creating a memorable experience.
What truly sets this story apart is its powerful message — a reminder that we are all made good and are always loved, no matter what. Candice Kwok also skillfully addresses deeper opposites that aren't often found in children's books, such as achievement vs. failure, the value of possessions and seeking approval from others. After reading, my family and I had such a meaningful conversation, which is a testament to the depth and importance of this book. It’s definitely one we’ll be returning to again and again!”
