You Can’t Do It! by Matthew Hawkins
Book Review:
When Matthew Hawkings was a little boy, he dreamed of being a film director. Everybody, including himself, said that he couldn’t do it. It wasn’t until years later, when he had his first son, that he decided to stop listening to the voices telling him “you can’t do” it, and start believing that he could. – Kiera and Esme
