Why Not You?
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From Grammy-winning pop star Ciara and Super Bowl champion quarterback Russell Wilson comes a picture book to inspire young readers to see the value in themselves, be brave, and go after their biggest dreams!
Why not you? Amazing you! You're a winner! You're so strong! You are perfect and important-you and all your gifts belong!
We all have big dreams! Sometimes it's hard to imagine our big dreams coming true. But what if someone saw all the amazing and spectacular parts of us-our winning smiles, our fancy feet, our warm hearts-and asked, "Why not you?"
Whether it's becoming a football player or a pop star or the president or a scientist: Why not you?
In this picture book debut, superstars Ciara and Russell Wilson encourage readers to see themselves achieving their dreams, no matter how outrageous they may seem. It's a lyrical celebration of self-esteem, perseverance, and daring to shoot for the stars.

This book is so appealing and tremendously inspiring. I love the way it is written. Really hones in on the fact that you can dictate the future through dreaming and consistently pursuing your goals. Every ethnicity is represented in this book. You will see someone who looks like you, doing amazing things. Just like Dorthy on the Wizard of Oz, it's been in you all the time!

It's so hard sometimes to believe in yourself, and for many there are individuals who have been told what they can't do. In the book WHY NOT YOU Ciara and Russell Wilson share the empowering mantras to let you know that you can do what is in your heart to achieve. I love the fact that it's all about eliminating the doubt and the messages that try to stop us. This book is all about reminding you of what you can do. If you're looking for a reminder as to why anything is possible then WHY NOT YOU is sure to give you the motivation you need.

The book is well written and inspiring. The illustrations are excellent and provide representation for kids of all ethnicities and abilities. I will have my son's teachers sign it over the years and give it to him when he graduates.
