REVIEW: HAPPY ALL IS OURS DAY!

I think it’s important to empower and encourage children in their pursuits. All can be theirs! Here’s a picture book that does just that: 

​

TITLE: THIS COULD BE YOU

AUTHOR: Cindy William Schrauben

ILLUSTRATOR: Julia Seal

PUBLISHER: Cardinal Rules Press/2022

OPENING LINES: 
 
Who pursues their top dreams,
their never-ever-stop dreams,
persist-until-they-drop dreams?
Believe. It could be you!

This picture book is all about empowering and encouraging children to dream, explore, and more! Cindy William Schrauben’s rollicking rhyme paired with Julia Seal’s darling illustrations will engage young readers from the start. Though this story conveys a powerful message (encouraging children to engage in a growth mindset), it doesn’t do so in a preachy way. The book includes back matter explaining the concept and examples of growth mindset as well as potential questions grownups can use to generate discussion with their young ones. I was particularly impressed with Schrauben’s expertly written rhyme and Seal’s diverse illustrations, which represent children of different races, genders, cultures, religions, and abilities. If you’re looking for a feel-good book that empowers children in a fun and colorful way, this is the book for you!
