Review: I Can Be

“I Can Be” is an easy book to read for young kids. The illustrations are great and colorful. I like that the book has pictures of different types of kids so any kid reading the book can see a character who looks like them. I think this book is special because it is all about reminding kids that they can be whatever they want to be in life if they do good in school and never give up on their dreams.

About the book

Have you ever wanted to be a teacher? Or maybe a dancer? How about an engineer? I Can Be shows you different jobs to explore. Read it with your mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunt, or uncle. Don't forget to ask them what they wanted to be when they were little!
