Written by Kobi Yamada

Illustrated by Gabriella Barouch

What if life is even more miraculous than you’ve imagined? Why not find out for yourself?

The words in this enchanting children’s book are here to cheer you on—to encourage you to be brave, live with your whole heart, and become whoever you want to be. Written by New York Times bestselling author Kobi Yamada and illustrated by Gabriella Barouch, this follow-up to the beloved book Maybe is an invitation to embrace big possibilities.

Throughout the pages, a young child adventures alongside an adorable arctic fox friend, exploring the world’s wonders together, and learning to believe they are among them.

Someone is going to set out on a bold adventure. Someone is going to step up to the challenge. Someone is going to change things for the better. Why not you?

You are the only you there ever has been or ever will be. You are unique in all the universe. Just the odds of you being here at this exact place and this exact time are so great and so rare that it will never happen again.

Written by the New York Times best-selling author of What Do You Do With an Idea?, this is a story for everything you will do and everything you can be—for who you are right now and all the magical, unbounded potential you hold inside. With rich, enchanting illustrations, it’s a reminder that you were meant for incredible things. And maybe, just maybe, you will exceed your wildest dreams.
