About this audiobook
This program is read by the author and features music and special effects. Listen along and enjoy the fun that is You Will Do Great Things.
From Grammy nominated singer-songwriter and book club founder Amerie, You Will Do Great Things is a lyrical, magical audiobook about the great possibilities that lie ahead for our little ones.
A young boy's imagination takes off as he gazes at family photos, whisking him off on a fantastical journey. Along the way, the boy tries exciting and bold new things, ventures into unexplored worlds, and forms deep connections with his multicultural heritage and the ancestors who imbue him with the strength and courage to make a difference.
Amerie has written a moving, sweeping, and deeply loving story that is inspired by her own family. It is a celebration of everything our little ones have yet to do: the great, the amazing, the strange, and the new. It's also a lasting reminder that the loved ones in our lives will always be right there beside us—and in our hearts—cheering us on.
A Macmillan Audio production from Roaring Brook Press.
