      NBA superstar James follows up his New York Times-bestselling I Promise (2020) with another inspirational picture book. "When they ask me who I am and what it is I do, I say I can do anything because I know it's true." The diverse youngsters in this book are a confident bunch who know they're capable of anything. A Black child who uses a wheelchair throws a basketball in the air before opening up a laptop: "I can dribble and I can code; either way I've got game." A light-skinned child paints a mural: "I create new worlds with the swish of a brush, and I rally for change." A Black child holds a microphone surrounded by musical notes while a pair of pups look on happily: "I rhyme about a brighter tomorrow." Other kids dance across tightropes, plant a garden, and read. The empowering affirmations feature action verbs: "I'll reach my goals," "I will succeed," "I can climb the highest mountains." Images of smiling children set against swirling, vibrant backgrounds give the book an exuberant, uplifting feel. Backmatter includes an author's note from James and an image of an empty picture frame--encouragement for readers to draw their own self-portraits. Interactive, fun, and motivating. (Picture book. 3-8)

      PreS-Gr 2- "When they ask me how I am and what it is I do, I say I can do anything because I know it's true." In this follow-up to James's bestselling I Promise, children of all different colors and abilities are shown drawing self-portraits with empowering words and phrases of their own awesome characteristics. Illustrations of each child show what they value about themselves and what makes them unique. Vibrant, colorful backgrounds add to the meaning of the text, rather than distract, and hair textures are drawn with great care. Importantly, the text not only covers what the children will do when they grow up, but what they are and can do now. A letter from James and a blank space for readers to draw their own self-portraits close the book, so educators may wish to provide paper and drawing materials with readings. VERDICT A sweet sequel for adults and children to enjoy together.-Kerri L. Williams
