 Book Review – I Can Do It: A Little One’s Day at Home by Aileen Plana

Aileen Plana’s I Can Do It is a tender, rhythmic celebration of childhood independence and the small victories that fill a little one’s day. Through gentle rhyme and cozy scenes, the story follows a child navigating familiar routines—getting dressed, brushing teeth, and choosing a bedtime story—all with growing confidence and pride. Each moment feels authentic and heartwarming, reminding both children and caregivers that learning to do things “all by myself” is as much about courage as it is about love.

What makes this book so special is its calm, nurturing tone that encourages confidence without rushing it. The rhythm of the words and the warmth of the illustrations create a perfect bedtime atmosphere, one that reassures children they’re safe, capable, and loved. I Can Do It beautifully captures the spirit of early childhood—curious, determined, and full of wonder—and will leave little readers smiling with each turn of the page.
