(mother of 3 boys) "I absolutely adore this book. I bought it for my daughter, and I just know she will treasure." ~ Mel P. (mother of 2) "This book couldn't have come at a better time. My wife and I have been dreading this moment, but this book shares wisdom that even I wish I had been introduced to prior to my college days. Hopefully this will make the letting-go part a bit easier." ~ Holland K. (father of 1) PUBLISHERS WEEKLY - EDITOR'S PICK Jones's sweet children's book encourages young people to explore the world and take chances to become the "truest version" of themselves. Reminiscent at times of the Dr. Seuss classic Oh, the Places You'll Go!, Jones uses simple rhyming verse to offer kids of all ages essential advice about overcoming challenges, choosing the right friends, and how to "trust in their own magic." One of the most welcome, important-and hardest to grasp- components of Jones's message is its warning against the pitfalls of privilege: "Gain confidence through your success, not entitlement and birth. For through the daily and smallest of wins your true self-it will emerge." For parents who feel emotional when envisioning their babies venturing out into the world, this touching story will likely trigger a tear or two. However, it will also give adults important opportunities to talk to youngsters about crucial life skills, like growing confidence and overcoming fear. With distinctive illustrations and mostly smooth, easy-to-follow rhymes, Jones's uplifting tale will inspire curiosity in young people-and leave parents wishing they could go back in time to impart knowledge to younger versions of themselves. TAKEAWAY: This delightful story encourages children of all ages to explore the world and take chances to become the "truest version" of themselves. GREAT FOR FANS OF: Emily Winfield Martin's The Wonderful Things You Will Be, Mark Pett and Gary Rubinstein's The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes . Yesterday, my boys took their first steps. Today, they are getting ready to conquer the world. First days and last days, we've had plenty of those. Yet we didn't have nearly enough. I hope that with this book you come to see and understand how very precious each and every moment has been, is, and will be. What a magnificent being our sons and daughters have become!
