This is Bert’s big day. He is well prepared, mentally, and physically. But he might need some encouragement. You Can Do It, Bert! is a simple, funny picture book with an encouraging positive message. It’s a great gift for anyone embarking on a new venture: a child about to start school, a teenager finishing high school, a college student graduating, or anyone starting a new job or going overseas.
Bert is a little nervous about making the jump of his branch. He has several false starts before he finds the courage to make the leap. It's a simple story with a straightforward message of being brave with some positive encouragement from friends.
The book has an fun and unexpected twist, but fell a little flat for me. Not a huge storyline, but I liked that part of the story was solely illustrations showing what was happening.
