Overview

I can do many things all by myself, but sometimes I need a little help. A young child boasts about all the new things they can do such as stack blocks, connect two puzzle pieces, and put on their shoes. When it comes time to build a castle, complete a full puzzle, or tie their laces, they may have to ask for help. And that's okay! Elizabeth Everett channeled her experience as a teacher to pen this empowering story, and Shelley Hanmo used vibrant and fun cut paper art to bring a child's favorite activities to do (with help!) to life.

""The tone makes clear that needing help is nothing out of the ordinary; the expressly stated message at story's end is that needing help is perfectly okay. This intention is balanced with a marvelously child-centered text, each opening activity recognizable as a potential point of ""I can do it myself"" pride for young children.""—Cooperative Children's Book Center
