    We know our children are special, and now the incomparable Nancy Tillman expresses this universal feeling in the most touching of ways: Every child is born with a crown. The crown is everything that gives us unique value. Our crown will always be with us wherever we go, whatever we do.

      Affirming and lovely but a picture book more for adults than children.
    • 5/5
      Nancy Tillman has a wonderful, poetic way with words. "The Crown on Your Head" has beautiful pictures to go with beautiful writing, and is the perfect story with which to send your little one off to sleep. Every child is born with a crown, made of beautiful things, that makes them unique and special, and, most of all, loved. All over the world, in every country, city, or town, across cultures and all the differences that make us wonderful, we are all magnificent in our own way.
