Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From Grammy-winning pop star Ciara and Super Bowl champion quarterback Russell Wilson comes a picture book to inspire young readers to see the value in themselves, be brave, and go after their biggest dreams!
Why not you? Amazing you! You're a winner! You're so strong! You are perfect and important-you and all your gifts belong!
We all have big dreams! Sometimes it's hard to imagine our big dreams coming true. But what if someone saw all the amazing and spectacular parts of us-our winning smiles, our fancy feet, our warm hearts-and asked, "Why not you?"
Whether it's becoming a football player or a pop star or the president or a scientist: Why not you?
In this picture book debut, superstars Ciara and Russell Wilson encourage readers to see themselves achieving their dreams, no matter how outrageous they may seem. It's a lyrical celebration of self-esteem, perseverance, and daring to shoot for the stars.
