Bonnie Grubman grew up with a love of reading. As a child, she lived in an apartment with her family, pet turtles, and a parakeet. On hot summer nights, she would cool off on the fire escape with a flashlight and a big stack of books. Bonnie went to nursing school, but later decided to trade her nurse's hat for a classroom full of picture books. She was inspired by her students who found joy and curiosity in everything they saw. Because of these kids, and for all kids, she became a writer. Bonnie lives in Syosset, New York.
In childhood already it was Carolien Westermann’s biggest wish: becoming a children books illustrator. Since finishing her illustration studies at the Utrecht School of the arts, Carolien (1988) works as a freelance illustrator. Illustrating children books is only part of her daily occupation: she also works for magazines (VPRO, PLUS magazine). Her work is narrative and poetic and often there is a touch of humor.
"A new treasure, certainly worth adding to your collection. This is a beautifully illustrated story about embracing what makes you, you!” - Sarah Muller, educator
"A funny and inspiring book about discovering your strengths. For go-getters ages 4 and up....a great little story about trying everything you can to achieve a goal - and then admitting your limitations. Combined with some gorgeous illustrations and excellent text, this book would make a lovely gift for children with a sense of adventure! - Paul Phillips, bookseller
"A new kids story about being envious, working together, being let down, and how to rise back up again. It was a breath of fresh air, reading this book. There was no malice or backstabbing. It was genuine desire to do something and having a friend help you through all the options. And when that didn't work out, dealing with it in a positive manner and working on developing personal strengths!” - Denise Wheelock, Goodreads
"The Only Way I Can is a story of self-acceptance and imagination, with beautiful backgrounds and warm colors. The illustrated endpaper spreads bring readers into the story setting and gently let them leave when the book ends. A good storytime book about accepting oneself and one’s limits while celebrating the bravery of taking chances.” - Mom Read It blog
"Makes an effective case for recognizing one’s talents and approaching goals and challenges from a different perspective.” - Publishers Weekly
"This beautifully-illustrated book shows the wonders of finding out what you were born to do, and then doing it well. In its own special way it would work for a lesson on Growth Mindset, specifically on deciding when it might be time to try for a more realistic goal.... especially love the positive ending with its bits of gratitude and humor." - Kiss the Book librarian reviews
"This would make an excellent storytime read as its subtle message about how we're all good at different things will shine through.” - Leanne Millman, Crooked Tree Library
“A cute story about appreciating our individual strengths.” - Magy Vaughan, elementary reading specialist
