psilotum reviewed Can Do It! by Sarina Abbasi
Review of 'Can Do It!' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is a great book to teach children to persevere and that just because something goes wrong the first time you try something new you don't need to give up. The main character "a can" in the story wants to give up but then he tries again and realizes he can succeed and have fun doing activities like bike riding, playing soccer, playing music etc. It teaches children that problems and mistakes will happen and that's ok and doesn't mean you need to give up. The story and illustrations are really engaging for children. This would be a great book for any child but especially a child who has anxiety about trying new things or trying again if they had a negative experience the first time.
