What reviewers said

You Are Growing All the Time is a heartwarming celebration of childhood that will help children recognize that growth is about a lot more than just getting bigger. This beautiful book shows kids that the little things in life add up—that when we do things like work through challenges, try new things, wait patiently, and help others, we grow and change in meaningful ways and make the world a better place.”
Melinda Wenner Moyer, author of How to Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes
“Ups and downs, highs and lows—they’re par for the course as children learn and grow. Deborah Farmer Kris’s gentle, caring books assure them of adults’ love and support—all the time. A must-have series for the young children in your life.”
Dr. Michele Borba, educational psychologist, parenting and bullying-prevention expert, and author of End Peer Cruelty, Build Empathy; Thrivers; and Unselfie
“The four beautiful books in this series are gentle guides for parents and children that teach valuing all the things that make individuals special.”
“Kids are growing every day, and You Are Growing All the Time underscores that even the smallest changes are important. Every page of Deborah Farmer Kris’s beautifully illustrated new book celebrates a different way that children grow, from trying something new, to learning to ride a bike, to growing kinder, braver, and more curious. As an elementary school counselor, therapist, and parent, I love Kris’s reminder to recognize and mark kids’ progress, whether change is happening on the inside or the outside.”
Phyllis Fagell, LCPC, school counselor and author of Middle School Matters
You Are Growing All the Time is such a celebration of children—Fred Rogers would be so proud! Through Deborah Farmer Kris’s loving and playful words, kids and parents will be celebrating life’s small moments with BIG results of empowerment, kindness, and a sense of self-worth.”
