It’s an exploration into this life-affirming connection that gives a person purpose.” The illustrator is Moran Reudor, whose enchanting watercolor illustrations bring the story to life. In the words of a reader who reviewed You Are More Than, “The text is uplifting, inspirational and comforting. The illustrations are beautiful and joyful!”
