Everyone is a somebody

Most people know what it's like to feel like a nobody at some point. They hide in their cave for comfort and rarely leave because the mind keeps reminding them that they are nobodies. This book is n excellent reminder to children, or adults even, that they are somebody. Sometimes we need that reminder.

Although I thought this was a nicely illustrated book, I wasn’t 100% happy with the message it was sending to young kids. It seemed that it was telling kids that they needed validation from others so that they would be happy. I thought the idea of coming out of the cave into the sunlight was nice, encouraging kids to come out of their shell to meet others was a good one. Being “nobody” until they were recognized/seen by another person when they then became “somebody” was a bit off though for me. Regardless of being a loner or a person who can socialize doesn’t mean they are a nobody

I have no clue what the other reviews are happy about. So I guess this goes along with the song, “ You’re nobody til somebody loves you. “ this book made me depressed thinking that being a nobody means you’re “invisible “ until somebody takes the time to make you seen. Why can’t they try to talk to somebody or anyone so nobody feels like a burden til someone or somebody stops by happenstance to see nobody is somebody to appreciate? I getting a headache with this.

This is a great little book with a great lesson. It is such a sweet book and everyone needs to know they are somebody. I love the story and the idea behind it. It is cute that nobodies and somebodies are all important!

This book will help the different child realize that nobody is alone out there, there is always a friend out there. In sparse language, Sarah Fader tells the story of our time--existential loneliness. The illustrations are one of a kind too.

This book is an easy read and just made me smile the whole time I was reading it. My son is 12 and has ADHD, and since he's older but I wanted him to read the book, I had him read it to his niece who is 3. He really likes the book and so does she. Thank you for writing this!!!

Great little book to read to kids BEFORE they think they are a nobody.
