Clement is a songwriter/performer who has entertained
children across the
country with her Debbie’s Ditties for Little Kiddies, which focus on
positive
affirmations. Though You’re Wonderful was born from her work with children
with special needs, its powerful
message is appropriate for everyone,
recognizing that each child is
wonderful and has special gifts. The
books illustrations are bold,
graphic quilts and the musical score with all
verses and guitar/autoharp chords
is included. Also featured are motions for
sign language and a CD with both a
vocal and instrumental version of the song.

“Children
need positive affirmations, this book provides a model
for parents.
The sign language guide & CD offer more extensions—what a great
emerging literacy activity! An entertaining book that
addresses cognitive
and social domains as well. Children will love reading it over and
over.”

“I just became
acquainted with your song/book, “You’re Wonderful”, and I
enjoyed it immensely – as did my nine year old son.
