"This picture book frames the actions one takes in life as a person’s story and encourages readers to write theirs well. 'You’re writing a story / with everything you do. / What’s this story about? / It’s the story of you!' So begins this inspirational poem matched with images of diverse children doing all sorts of activities and making decisions that add to their stories...Joyful, innocently smiling children of various racial presentations and physical abilities play sports, dance, make art, protest, and play in pastel-hued illustrations. The rhyming stanzas make this an enjoyable read, and the unique but simple concept offers a thoughtful way to begin ongoing discussions about choices with young people. A message worth sharing." —Kirkus Reviews
