Please Mr Panda by Steve Antony was voted one of our top 3 favourite books during Book Week. Today we decided to share another of Steve’s stories – You Can. This book takes us on an amazing journey with 14 children as they grow from birth to 18 years old, learning new skills, exploring new worlds, standing up for their own and others’ rights – and following their dreams.

This book has been described as “a joyous ode to inclusion, realised in the most delightful, uplifting way.” The Champs and I would definitely agree and we loved sharing the whole story at first and then going back through the book picking out a different child each time and following their journey.

This is what the Champs said:

“We loved that we were able to follow each character through the book and watch them grow up.”

“It made me feel like I can do anything.”

“It included all different types of children and showed us that everyone can be given the opportunity to be themselves.”

“If you believe in something, you can do it.”

“Be you!”
