A fun and gorgeously illustrated picture book about all the things one kid can be . . . eventually, or not at all. Perfect for fans of The Magical Yet and I Am Enough, and for graduation and back-to-school seasons.
Do what you love!
Celebrated creators Rebecca Gardyn Levington and Rahele Jomepour Bell encourage kids to always celebrate their passions, whether or not they ever make it to Broadway or the big leagues. I Will Always Be. . ., with delightful rhyme and captivating illustrations, reminds young artists and athletes, bakers and ballerinas, inventors and investigators, that doing what you love and loving what you do is all that really matters.
Rebecca Gardyn Levington will always be a writer, even if she never publishes another book, because penning playful and poignant picture books and poems, primarily in rhyme, is her passion! Rebecca is the author of Whatever Comes Tomorrow, Brainstorm!, Afikoman, Where’d You Go?, and a plethora of other books. She lives with her family in Summit, New Jersey, where you can find her bouncing on a mini trampoline, playing mah-jongg, and eating chocolate–peanut butter ice cream (although not usually at the same time!).
Rahele Jomepour Bell is a multi-award-winning Iranian American children’s book creator and illustration professor at the Kansas City Art Institute. Some of the books she has illustrated includeTo Change a Planet, written by Christina Soontornvat; Book’s Big Adventure, by Adam Lehrhaupt; and Our Favorite Day of the Year, by A. E. Ali. Her inspiration comes mostly from her childhood, Friday night family gatherings at her grandparents’ house, and illustrated books from around the world. Rahele is happiest creating illustrations that send the imagination flying, offer a new look at an old idea, and reassure the viewer of their place in this world.
“In confident, first-person prose, a child speaker celebrates their abundant potential, connecting skills and passions to possible future pathways…a triumphant and inspiring energy throughout.” -Publishers Weekly
