If you have followed my book reviews for a while you will know I love a rhyming story and this is a good one, accompanied by beautiful illustrations.
I loved it, such a sweet story with lots of great underlying messages about believing in yourself, the power of imagination, , resilience, creative problem solving, perseverance and working together.
Definitely one I will purchase a copy of for my year 1 classroom and one I highly recommend!
This was a great book for children, full of imagination and great illustrations too.
The story had lots of small subtle messages for children (and adults too) about using your imagination and determination to achieve what you want in life, and making things happen.
My 4 year old grandchildren enjoyed it being read to them and will enjoy reading it themselves too soon.

Tyrone invites readers to imagine, aspire, and reach for the stars.
You Can Do Anything, Tyrone! explores self-belief, imagination, determination, resilience, creative problem-solving, and mentors' invaluable role in guiding us through challenges.
