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.

Along with Brown-Wood, celebrity couple Ciara and Russell Wilson advocate for self-acceptance and empowerment in this peppy rhyming volume, which shares a name with their foundation. Emphatically hopeful lines discuss following one’s dreams despite obstacles: “Why not you? Why not you?/ You are great! You have the stuff!/ You can drop your doubts and worries./ You’re perfection. You’re enough.” Providing an idealized complement, Gibson’s lively digital illustrations portray children of varying abilities and skin tones cheering each other as they attempt skills such as confronting a climbing wall, swinging across the monkey bars, venturing down a twisty slide, and soaring beneath a rainbow. An authors’ note concludes. Ages 4–8.
