If you could be anything, what would you be? I’d be a tall ship, racing fast on the sea I’d fill up my sails with the salty cool breeze If I could be anything. If it were up to me. This lyrical lullaby from educator and musician Jen Britton, with illustrations by celebrated artist Briana Corr Scott (Mermaid Lullaby, Wildflower) asks young readers, If you could be anything, what would you be?

With gentle, rhyming text and dreamy oil illustrations, If You Could Be Anything is the perfect story to send little ones off to dreamland, and older ones off on new adventures. Includes informative, illustrated backmatter.
