What Do You Do With a Chance? — New York Times best seller Hardcover – Picture Book, January 10, 2018

Best children’s book ever. Loved Mae Besom’s illustrations! The concept is so good that I often feel like it speaks to me more than kids.

I buy this book for every baby shower I go to. This book is amazing, my daughter loves it. I want to buy the other books in this series.

The media could not be loaded. This is wonderful children's book beautifully captures the essence of taking risks and embracing opportunities. The story is both engaging and inspiring, encouraging kids to step out of their comfort zones and pursue their dreams.

This book is part of a set and I love that each one opens lots of opportunities to chat with and guide our kids. When invited to the classroom to read to a group of second graders, we chose this book and were able to engage the kids throughout by referencing the pictures and asking them to think of different "chances" they've had. I brought up topics of fear, bullying, courage, excitement...it's really a nicely written book with pretty illustrations that I think would work well for kids 5-8 years. The language is also easy enough the second graders could easily read it themselves.

Favorite book

What Do You Do With a Chance?By Kobi YamadaIllustrated by Mae BesomThis is the third book from this creative duo. I loved What Do You Do With an Idea? And What Do You Do With a Problem? However, this is definitely my favorite! This exquisite picture book once again follows a little person as he wanders the countryside and on this adventure is visited by a chance. He wants to grab the chance, but has his doubts. Does he have the courage? What if he misses the chance? Would he feel foolish?The charming illustrations, as well as the questions the little guy asks on every page, provide so many opportunities to begin some wonderful conversations with your little ones. The story concludes with a thought we all need to remember, no matter what our age. “So what do you do with a chance? You take it...because it just might be the start of something incredible.” In fact, with graduations approaching, this would make the perfect gift!My advice is to run to your nearest bookstore or library and get your own copy of this special book. It’s certainly one you’ll want to add to your family’s library!

Kobi Yamada & Illustrator Mae Besom did a fantastic job conveying such a powerful message through their story and illustrations! This book is appropriate for both children and adult audiences! Love it! I have several of Yamada’s books and enjoy reading them to students & gifting them to friends and family!

This was the sweetest book and an amazing read for honestly any age. As an adult, I found it inspiring.
