review:
'Riley Can Be Anything' by Davina Hamilton with illustrations by Elena Reinoso is a book about all the possibilities available to a young boy.

Riley is spending time with his older cousin Joe. Joe asks lots of questions. When Joe asks Riley what he wants to be when he grows up, Riley can't decide. Joe tells Riley about all the great career opportunities that others in their family have had, like chefs, musicians, teachers, and others. Riley really can be anything.

I really liked this book about the ability for young Riley to be anything he can. The text is niceand so are the illustrations. I have one big nitpick with the art, though. On one page, Uncle Boz is a jazz musician who plays the trumpet, but the illustration shows someone holding a saxophone. In a story that gets so much right, this illustration really bugged me.

I received a review copy of this ebook from The Ella Riley Group and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
