Synopsis

Unearthed after nearly forty years, What Can I Be?, a stunning concept book written by Ann Rand and illustrated by Ingrid King, is sure to delight children with its superb graphics and vivid palette. Triangles, squares, circles, lines, and colours spring to life in various and creative formations as they ask, What can I be? A green triangle asks to become a tent, a kite, a Christmas tree, or the sail of a boat, or why not all of these things?

Media Reviews
After introducing a series of shapes and colors, Rand invites readers to consider their possibilities with the question, What can I be?, before providing some creative examples that encourage little ones to think in new directions . Both author and illustrator are architects, and their sophisticated sense of space is evident in the book's page design and individual pictures. The illustrations have a retro feel while still reflecting a child's sensibility, including animals, toys, plants, and other items that are within a young reader's frame of reference. A thought-provoking, riddle-like book with ample visual appeal. Booklist
