I Can Be Anything

If you are like me, you are probably thinking that this is another book about all the careers a child can choose, when he or she grows up. I Can Be Anything by Jerry Spinelli and illustrated by Jimmy Liao is much more relevant to a young child's life. Some of the choices in this beautifully illustrated book are dandelion blower and puppy dog holder. Children will build a positive self concept as they come up with ideas about all the things they can be an do. In the end, the important message is that we don't have to choose to be just one thing, we can do anything. Short, simple, easy to understand, and should be a part of every classroom!
