The Wonderful Things You Will Be

Description

From School Library Journal PreS—Childhood is a time full of potential, and
Martin celebrates this promise in this work. The general premise of Dr.
Seuss’s classic, Oh, The Places You’ll Go is pared down to elegant simplicity.
“Will you stand up for good/By saving the day?/Or play a song only you/Know
how to play?” While the rhyming text falters a bit in spots, the word choice
overall is spare, inspiring, and accessible to preschoolers. Children are
encouraged to be kind, clever, and bold, to take care of the small, and to
help things grow. Martin’s oil paintings have the same retro, mid-century feel
as her other illustrations, with large-eyed children of many ethnicities
playing, gardening, and sharing together. VERDICT A go-to gift for new
parents, and a potential bedtime favorite for many children.—Martha Link
Yesowitch, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, NC Read more Review “Her children
are so serious… and so unflappable… that they convey not just hope for the
future, but a sense of manifest destiny.” — Publishers Weekly starred
review“Sweet but not saccharine and singsong but not forced, Martin’s text is
one that will invite rereadings as it affirms parental wishes for children
while admirably keeping child readers at its heart.”—Kirkus starred review
