When Sam White’s ABC rap video went viral, it was watched by millions, garnering attention and praise from fans around the world, including Michelle Obama and Ellen DeGeneres. You Can Be ABCs takes Sam’s rap and further explores all that life has to offer with a full dose of happiness and positivity.
The book’s encouraging and joyful message empowers kids everywhere to know they can do anything they set their minds to. “You can be an A—an architect, a B—a biochemist, a C—a computer software developer,” and so much more! It's all about doing what you love and putting your heart into everything that you do. In this alphabet book of careers, the options run from A to Z! And six-year-old social media sensation Sam White and his dad, Bobby, want every kid out there to know that they can reach for the stars and make their dreams come true, whatever they want to become. Just don't be a Z—a zombie, and let the world pass you by.
On Sam's YouTube channel you can find interviews of some of these careers!
