Praise for this book
"Megan Roy's bright, colorful illustrations paired with silly, inventive prompts make for the perfect kids' book. Whether you're looking to get the wiggles out with your littles or transition from your busy day into your bedtime routine, this book will bring you and your kiddo together. My kiddos loved following the prompts but especially loved being silly with their grown-up. A must-have for caregivers of littles!"
--Jennie Palluzzi, mom of two littles "A unique book our children love to grab at any time of day! With fun and bright illustrations, we use it for both playful antics during the day, and to wind down before bed. A must-have for any young, energetic child's bookshelf!"
--Brian K. "Can You Do This? is a warm, thoughtful, and super fun book just like the author herself. While the active movements are great, I absolutely love the pages dedicated to being still. It speaks to the importance of balance for kids, and kids at heart."
--Jen Troy, TV/comic book writer and mom "Megan Roy brings a vibrant, joyful, inclusive energy to everything she creates. As a working mom of three kids 5 and under, I've engaged with her illustrations from her exquisite phone cases, to her witty greeting cards and now dynamic children's books. While Megan has a distinct style, she also has a unique ability to feel extremely relatable, making every purchase feel personal. My kids love the experience of Can You Do This? as much as I love reading it with them."
--Kim Woolf, entertainment marketing executive & mom of big brother & twin queens "Can You Do This? is a book that will be read over and over again in our home! Not only is it the perfect fusion of fun and creativity, but Megan Roy's Signature illustration style brings the pages and prompts to life. A must-have for any young library!"
--Rachel Mae Smith of The Crafted Life "My daughter is never "quite ready" for bedtime at the end of the night, but this book helps her get her wiggles and giggles out before calming down for the night. I love the colorful illustrations and the playful creativity found in this book. I recommend it to everyone with young, active children!"
--Sonya Radtke "Not only is Can You Do This? filled with beautiful and colorful illustrations, but it's such a great way for the little ones to get the wiggles out! The interactive nature of this book makes it fun for the whole family providing laughs and memories."
--Julie Shuford "An exhilarating celebration of motion"
--Kirkus "Designed with caregivers and educators in mind, this title offers a straightforward approach to screen-free activities for young children."
--School Library Journal "Positivity and energy beams from every page, and it's hard not to get caught up in the fun. Even my older teen kids enjoyed jumping in and trying each movement out (although they are so simple). The entire purpose of this book is to get kids to move, and it does it perfectly."
