ABOUT THE BOOK

The Best I Can Be

What makes someone the best?

Is it climbing the highest tree, swimming the fastest, jumping the farthest, or winning every race? The Best I Can Be reminds young readers that everyone has unique strengths, and no one is “better” simply because they excel at one thing.

Through playful comparisons with animals, everyday activities, and friendly competition, Bert Robbins delivers an uplifting message about self-worth, perseverance, kindness, and celebrating the talents of others. Children learn that doing their personal best, practicing to improve, and treating others with respect are the true measures of success.

Filled with encouraging rhymes and memorable life lessons, The Best I Can Be inspires children to embrace who they are, appreciate the gifts of others, and discover that the greatest achievement of all is becoming the very best version of themselves.
