Nothing You Can’t Do!, by Mary Cay Ricci, explains a growth mindset, why it’s important, and how to get one. I highly recommend this book for anyone around 7-14, who is interested in a growth mindset. This helpful book also might be good for children in this age range with self-esteem issues. When I first looked at this book, I was very displeased with the title because, there are lots of things you can’t do. But I was extremely happy when I saw that Mary put on page 5: “The title of this book isn’t exactly 100% true … there are actually some things that you can’t do!” My favorite feature of the book is how sectioned off every page is. This element makes Nothing You Can’t Do! seem less overwhelming and tedious. I enjoyed the fun doodles in orange, as well as the barcodes that can be scanned on a phone. This seems a lot like an educational book my mom would make me read, and I definitely wouldn’t pick it out if I saw it in the library. This is unfortunate because of how enjoyable and useful it is. If I were Ms. Ricci, I would probably make the cover more grown up so that older kids will give it a try. I’m glad I got to look past the cover to gain a deeper understanding of growth mindset.
