I AM ENOUGH

Author Grace Byers's graceful narration conveys the message of living life to its fullest, with confidence and resilience. Her poem for children is composed of similes such as "Like a tree, I am here to grow" and draws comparisons between the beauty, majesty, and purpose in nature and in ourselves. Inspiring courage and intentional living, Byers relishes the lyricism of language, and her light tone and crisp articulation emphasize the onomatopoeic effects of some of her words. This program may only be three minutes long, but it's powerful. Byers's performance and wise words encouraging respect for oneself and the world make for an inspirational listen for adults and children alike.
