For Every One

Jason Reynolds' 'For Every One' is a collection of poetry presented as a letter, designed to inspire and comfort young readers who harbor big dreams and ambitions. It gently addresses the 'what if' anxieties and self-doubt that can accompany pursuing one's passions. While the publisher lists an age range of 6-9, the depth of the themes and the critical reception often associate it with young adults. For younger children, it serves as an excellent read-aloud, offering rich language and powerful messages about courage, resilience, and believing in oneself. The book's unique layout, with varying typefaces and font sizes, adds to its engaging presentation, making it a wonderful tool for opening conversations about aspirations and fears within the family.

A letter to anyone who has ever had a keep-you-up-at-night ambition. The heart racing, what if? This book is a challenge to think beyond the expected and go for what you want, when going for it is the scariest part.
