I'm happy to share today about three great new books that will help your family answer some of those challenging "Who Am I?" questions.

Author [Monica Ashour](http://tobet.org/) and illustrator Marilee Harrald-Pilz have come together to create the new Building Blocks of TOB for Kids trio of titles. These books are age appropriate for children 4-7, brightly illustrated with engaging prose, and effective for teaching Theology of the Body in your home or classroom.

[Everybody Has Something to Give](http://amzn.to/1fNUWKC)

*Introduce children to the beauty of giving and receiving. Everybody Has Something to Give affirms the dignity of every person in a fun and creative way, and teaches children how our bodies help us to give of ourselves, receive others, and open our hearts to Jesus. *

[God Has a Plan for Boys and for Girls](http://amzn.to/1KU3ybn)

* Help children discover who they are and the importance of the way God made them. God Has a Plan for Boys and for Girls affirms the gift of gender in a joyful, easy-to-understand way, teaching children about identity, human dignity, equality, and God's plan for them. *

 

[Every Body Has Something to Say](http://amzn.to/1KlyLtI)

*Teach children a new way of listening. Through everyday examples and colorful illustrations, Every Body Has Something to Say helps children become aware of how we communicate with our bodies and shows them how to respond appropriately and lovingly.*

*Order any of these titles by clicking on the link above and support CatholicMom.com with your purchase.*
