If I Could is a beautifully written flight of fancy which reminds us all that it is really best to be just who we are. Robert Sweetland's lively, intricate illustrations provide a visual feast throughout the book, and you see something new each time you look at the pictures. Read this book aloud to young children to promote self acceptance, or use it for early elementary language studies. It is sure to provide exciting subjects for family discussion.

The entire text is presented in both English and Spanish with a vocabulary cross reference sheet in the back of the book. It's an outstanding way to introduce a second language to young children in early grades of school, or a home school environment.
