Here I Am (Boy)

Here I Am offers a timely antidote to confusing messages about gender and identity, ushering the young imagination into a sacramental understanding of reality. Appealing to childlike wonder and joy, this book draws young readers deeper into the mystery of the Incarnation. Through engaging words and charming illustrations, children can begin to see their bodies as gifts that mirror the gift of Christ's own body.

This book is an answer to prayers for parents and grandparents concerned about the confusing and conflicting messages echoing throughout the world their children will grow up in.

Here I Am helps parents to:

• Combat confusing gender ideology.
• Lay a foundation for theology of the body for young children.
• Offer a positive and sacred view of the body.
• ​Explain that gender is rooted in the body, not in feelings, perceptions, or stereotypes.
• ​Help children understand his or her body as a good gift from God, not something to war against.
