Joy for Books Review Score: 98%
Description from Bookshop.org: Terry is a talented kid with big dreams and a whole lot of hats. On the football field, he's a star, and when he takes off his helmet, he puts on his other hats: in his beret he becomes an artist, in his chef's hat he cooks, and in his sparkly top hat, he's a magician! Everyone's always telling him he can only be one thing and do one thing. But Terry's just the kid to prove that his dreams--and his hats--are limitless.
Joy for Books reviewer comments: "This is a joyful book about a boy who is very talented and doesn't want to choose one activity to do, despite his teachers who encourage him to choose one. It's really a lesson about focusing, being present, and time management so not to sacrifice his dreams of doing it all. Illustrations are colorful and communicate the story very well... This is a very fun book. I appreciated that he dedicated the book to his inner child... I think the story could have gone deeper about the responsibility of time management and being present... But it did stay focused on Terry staying true to himself, communicating what makes him happy, and receiving the support he needs."
