Can I Be ?

The inspiration for "CAN I BE" came about from our daily lives and the way that my siblings and I were raised. At an early age, our parents gave us the privilege of deciding our paths by homeschooling us and, supporting us in whatever we wanted to do or accomplish. When I told them that I wanted to be an Architect they found a way for me to start taking college courses at the age of 12 to pursue my passion. We were never told that we couldn't be something. The potential of our story to become a book wasn't even dreamt of until my mentor Dorian Bohler, realized the power that the message of our lifestyle conveyed. He helped my brother and me realize that before you reach your highest potential you must first help someone realize their own.

So, over quarantine, we wrote and funded our first children's book, an inspiring story about a kid with big dreams. "CAN I BE?" is a story that reflects upon one's own experiences with realizing their potential.

We believed that because of COVID and many other factors there was an unfortunate lack of aspiration and overall hope among youth in these uncertain times. 

We hoped that 'CAN I BE?' could be a gift to our readers, by giving them a sense of purpose and a form of inspiration. Along with our book's positive message, 'CAN I BE?' includes an activity section that encourages children to write in their books while answering thought-provoking questions. 

There's also a glossary with definitions of various words used throughout the book. We're sure that our book will be used as a motivational tool that will not only inspire children but will also guide them on their path own toward their dreams.
