I Can Do It Myself is a delightful story that captures the enthusiasm of an adorable three year old's quest for independence. She walks you through an average day in her life as she learns to tackle everyday tasks. While the results are often less than perfect, sometime messy and always funny, the story promotes confidence and pride for preschoolers. Kendall does an amazing job illustrating the story through the eyes of this active three year old toddler.
