All I Am

Genre: Realistic fiction
Author: Eileen Roe
Illustrator: Hellen Cogancherry
Awards: none
Grade level: PK-1st

This is a book about a young boy and all that he can be, alongside many of his friends and family. Throughout the story, the little boy states many different things he can be, such as an artist, thinker, listener, etc. The story shows a lot of diversity throughout the story and showing that we can all be what we want to be as long as we put our hearts and determination into it. At the end of the story, the little boy says that sometimes he just wonders about all the different things he could be.

This is a great story that I will definitely have in my classroom. This book shows children that they can be what they set their minds to and that even though we are all different, we all are wonderful and can achieve many things. It is definitely more appropriate for younger children, especially early childhood. The vocabulary is simple and students can easily comprehend the message in the story. I would read this to my children to inspire them and let them know that we are all different but can each achieve amazing things.
