Your life doesn't matter just because of how big or how important you are. It's not about how good your grades are or how many trophies you've won. You matter only because you exist. Why are you here." C. Robinson This album for early readers brilliantly and intelligently explores many different perspectives, both in understanding the world and in accepting and respecting others with their differences and, of course, ourselves. In its simple and clear message, “You matter” resonates a hope for change that transcends all borders (and all ages): the Black Lives Matter social movement of protest against racism. A fairer world is a better world for everyone, and this requires some big changes, promoted by everyone, including you! The luminous and clarifying illustrations in this book, by African-American artist Christian Robinson, reveal to the little ones an interconnected universe in which we all play an important role: «Even if you are small until you seem invisible. Although sometimes you prefer to swim against the current. Whether you are the first or the last to arrive. "You matter." A game of perspective and imagination that contains a very simple idea - every living being has value and deserves respect - and that, at the same time, illuminates a message about diversity and self-esteem.

Spanish Description: «Tu vida no importa solo por lo grande o lo importante que seas. No se trata de qué tan buenas sean tus calificaciones o cuántos trofeos hayas ganado. Importas solo porque existes. Porque estás aquí.» C. Robinson Este álbum para primeros lectores explora de manera brillante e inteligente muchas perspectivas diferentes, tanto para entender el mundo como para aceptar y respetar a los demás con sus diferencias y, por supuesto, a nosotros mismos. En su mensaje, simple y claro, «Tú importas» (You matter) resuena una esperanza de cambio que trasciende todas las fronteras (y todas las edades): el movimiento social Black Lives Matter de protesta contra el racismo. Un mundo más justo es un mundo mejor para todos, y esto exige algunos grandes cambios, promovidos por todos, ¡incluido tú! Las ilustraciones luminosas y clarificadoras de este libro, del artista afroamericano Christian Robinson, despliegan ante los más pequeños un universo interconectado en el que todos jugamos un importante papel: «Aunque seas pequeño hasta parecer invisible. Aunque a veces prefieras nadar a contracorriente. Ya seas el primero o el último en llegar. Tú importas». Un juego de perspectiva y de imaginación que encierra una idea muy simple ―todo ser vivo tiene un valor y merece respeto― y que, al mismo tiempo, ilumina un mensaje sobre la diversidad y la autoestima.
