A little girl decides she can do everything – and she doesn’t need help from anyone.

This charming picture book for the very young perfectly captures a child’s determination to be independent – at all costs. Andrew Daddo’s beautiful story, coupled with Jonathan Bentley’s delightful illustrations, will touch the hearts of all.

Andrew Daddo thanks his youngest daughter for ‘I Do It’. Says Andrew ‘She’s a beautiful, headstrong three year old who has always been very good at exerting her independence. She can, as the book suggests, do it. Anything, everything – whether it’s getting a glass of milk or choosing her clothes or going for the most colourful (and heaviest) bowling ball – she does it. It’s what I love about children of this age…. that they can and may well try just about anything. Having said that, it’s not a story of self-empowerment. There is no moral here, no message and certainly no lesson. It’s just about a girl who thinks she can, and to me, that’s as beautiful and perfect as every three year old can be.’
