YOU CAN is a motivating story for children. But what makes it special is it's written by children. The author asks children what they have to say to inspire others and she incorporates it into the story. In the back of the book there's an explanation to how the story YOU CAN came to be and I love how there are pictures for each child who had some input. The illustrations are simple with light detail but bold in color. The author includes children of all different races and they encourage others to be the best that they can be while not being judgmental.
Final Verdict: I would recommend this to all children everywhere because it is both inspirational and thought-provoking. It also belongs in elementary school libraries.
