Free to Be... You and Me by Carole Hart

Realistic Fiction

"Should, is a small and bossy word. Could, is as big and beautiful as the sky." the author said because all of her niece's books told her what she should be. Not what she could be. My favorite part is a chapter called "Southpaw." It is about two kids texting each other and fighting about baseball. They finally work it out. Another chapter is called "Boy Meets Girl." It is about two babies that talk about if they are a boy or girl. They both want to be a girl, but one says she is a girl and he is a boy. I recommend this book to people that like to sit and read a good book.
