I enjoyed reading this book by Tony Dungy. It was uplifting and positive and talked about what a child can accomplish when they believe in themselves. It was about a young boy who had three siblings and his two sisters and brother knew what they wanted to be when they grew up. His brother Tony wanted to be a football player, his two sisters wanted to be a nurse and a doctor. But Linden didn't know what he wanted to be.

Tony's parents taught them to "have faith and dream big". This story is about I enjoyed reading this book by Tony Dungy. This story is about Linden figuring out what he wants to be when he grows up.

I was surprised by his choice! It was a great book and I would recommend it to others. Sep 30, Sydney Funk rated it it was amazing Shelves: book-summaries. Linden is trying to find his It, the thing he wants to do when he grows up.

His family is very supportive and lets Linden know that he will find his it soon. The main characters are African American and this book can show students that people that look like them can succeed in doing what they want and so can they. We would have a class discussion about what each student wants to be when they grow up and setting goals. Each student can draw pictures of what themselves in that role. We would hang them in the class as inspiration, every time they see the picture they can be motivated to reach their goals.

If a student does not know what they want to be, like Linden in the story, they can set a shorter term goal to work to. This is another African American inspirational book about following your dreams. I would include it in the literature circle.

Mar 20, Shannon rated it it was ok. Why do picture book writers feel the need to try to indoctrinate their readers? If they want to write about religion for kids, write nonfiction. This could have been a really cute story about a kid figuring out what his interests and passions are. Instead, I kept getting jarred from the story by the constant mention of God fixing everything if you just have faith.

Nov 11, Julia Jasztal rated it it was amazing. I liked the title of the book and I liked what I assumed, from the title, what the story would be about so I decided to try and I'm so happy I did.

I als I also want to note that, and I didn't know this before we finished the story, this is based on Dungy and his brother and, probably because of my love for non-fiction, I adore childrens books that are based on something true.

That was an added bonus for me. Julia couldn't have cared an iota less. Tony and Linden are brothers and Linden isn't happy because he can't find his "it". Tony and their two sisters all know what they're good at and this is constantly eluding Linden. Linden goes to his Father and Tony also lends a hand in trying to help his brother.

As fate would have it, Linden soon finds his very own "it". Julia was intrigued because I think she could relate, as many children can, to wanting to be good at something and missing the mark. Or thinking you missed the mark. I loved the lessons because they're not shoved at you, they're subtle and not glaring in your face and in my opinion this goes much farther for children and adults. The way Linden goes to his family for help instead of keeping it inside, the way the family said grace before their meal, the way Tony Linden spoke of God and the way Tony assured his little brother that God knows what He's doing, all of those aspects helped make this book absolutely beautiful to me.

Dungy has a real reason to be proud because this is contribution to childrens books that most childrens authors do not make. Even the books for kids with the so-called lessons many times fall short.

By telling an interesting story and intertwining the "lessons" seamlessly, Dungy manages to do what a lot of other authors try to do. But Dungy makes it happen. Mar 30, Dale rated it it was amazing. In You Can Do It Tony Dungy takes us back to his childhood in Michigan and tells the story of his little brother, Linden, who is a cut-up in class but can't seem to find his way.

He can't figure out what is his "it". Tony is an athlete. His sisters take care of animals. What is his thing, his "it"? To Dungy's credit, the story is simple, but not preachy and not so simple that it bores the adult reader. I read right to the end and was genuinely interested in seeing how it came out. The illustr In You Can Do It Tony Dungy takes us back to his childhood in Michigan and tells the story of his little brother, Linden, who is a cut-up in class but can't seem to find his way.

The illustrations are perfect and really help tell the story. My daughter, an 8 year-old and an excellent reader liked the story as well. She liked the way Dungy addressed the issue of Linden not knowing what he wanted to be when he grew up Sep 18, Nikki Smith added it. The book You Can Do It, is a story about a little boy who wants to find what he will be when he grows up. With the help of his brother and parents, he soon finds his passion of making people smile turn into the job of being a dentist.

This book was a very cute children's book and encompassed the ideas of family and behavior. Some of the morals of treating siblings right and having faith in what is to come. This book talked about praying to God although the main focus was faith, it could be a sen The book You Can Do It, is a story about a little boy who wants to find what he will be when he grows up.

This book talked about praying to God although the main focus was faith, it could be a sensitive topic for some children if read aloud in a classroom. All together I though this book taught good morals, and was very child friendly. You could see the story through the pictures and children could follow along the story even if they didn't know how to read. View 1 comment. Oct 18, Seth Sharpe rated it it was amazing. I thought this was a great book that delivers a great message to kids.

It is a story about Tony Dungy's little brother trying to discover what he wants to do. All of his siblings have their own unique talents and know what they want to do with their life but that isn't the case for him. His knack for making people smile turns into dentistry. I looked into Dungy's other books some more and found all of his children's books to be perfect for young readers.

He uses his experience in dealing with yo I thought this was a great book that delivers a great message to kids. He uses his experience in dealing with young people through coaching and other projects he's involved in to always deliver a great message.

I highly recommend looking him up and looking at all of his books, not just the children books. He offers books that could be used for all students, grades K, that offer those same life lessons. Oct 27, Teri Swain rated it really liked it Shelves: multicultural-text-st. This book is a realistic fiction. I would recommend it for grades due to language and length. This book focused on the main character Linden. Linden was trying to find his "it". His brother Tony and both his sisters had that one thing that they were good at but he just couldn't seem to find what his was.

His brother was an athlete and his sisters took care of animals. Linden goes to his father for help finding his "it" and his brother even agrees to help. This book taught a life lesson and a This book is a realistic fiction.
