The One, The Only Magnificent Me is filled
with wonder as a boy's dreams take flight, transforming him from
an ordinary kid into something truly remarkable, and in the process,
he learns that simply being himself is what really makes him magnificent.
"It’s a combination
of Shel Silverstein and Dr. Seuss."
Welcome to the world
of Dan Haseltine and Joel Schoon Tanis.
Dan Haseltine - the multi-platinum, GRAMMY-winning
lead singer of the band Jars of Clay - has written a book that reveals
a realm of wonder, imagination, and creativity bubbling just beneath
the surface of our everyday world. Award-winning artist and Emmy-winning
TV host Joel Schoon Tanis' gorgeous, colorful illustrations capture
that world perfectly, showing all children that they truly are magnificent.
“I wrote Magnificent Me because
there is nothing more rewarding than fostering the imagination of
a child,” shares an enthusiastic Dan Haseltine. “It
is so important in setting up a person’s capacity to dream
bigger and live more passionately. All children need to know that
they are magnificent – with or without feathers."
Joel Schoon Tanis echoes Haseltine, saying, "Magnificent
Me was written with such visual possibility that it allowed
me the space to sneak in all sorts of fun details. It let me lose
myself in imagination much like the child in the story – and
when a kid loses themselves in their imagination, it is truly magical."
