Summary: This colorful and beautifully illustrated picture
book chronicles the challenges the Yes, a “great big orange thing” faces as it
travels through forests, rivers, and hills to get to its goal. All along the
way, the Nos tell him he can’t do it, but the Yes pushes on. The book features
made-up words and has an almost Seuss-like quality about it.
Review: I thought this book was lovely to look at and
conveys a strong message: there will always be people around you telling you
that you can’t do something, but it only takes your own faith in yourself for
you to succeed. However, this book may not be suitable for very young children,
as it is important for them to learn to listen when they are told no. In the
book, the Yes climbs a tall tree, goes over a rickety bridge, and swims across
a deep river, and all of these are things that could be potentially dangerous
to a child who disregards someone else’s warnings.
I
would recommend this book for older children and even adults who need could use
a little positivity and encouragement in their day!
