Product Description
Tony Dungy's little brother, Linden, is a third grader who is having a bad day at school. Linden is the youngest of the Dungy family and the least motivated because he hasn't found "it." In a family where everyone seems to have found their special talent, all Linden knows is that he wants to make people happy.
With encouragement from his parents, a helping hand from his older brother Tony, and inspiration from God, Linden learns that if he dreams big and has faith, he can do anything!

Sweet story, expressive illustrations August 20, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
There is a sweetness to this illustrated storybook about a young boy whose siblings all know what their passion is, but he doesn't know his. This book is best for kids unsure of what they want to be when they grow up. That description fits almost everyone! When young Linden feels anxious that he hasn't found his niche, readers will undoubtedly relate.
Linden's older brother Tony and scientist dad gently help him search for his "it," his passion. They remind him to have patience and trust in God to reveal this special talent. "Just keep having faith," Dad tells Linden. The boy finds his "it" during a trip to the dentist.
This true story was written by the head coach of the 2006 Super Bowl champions.
Expressive watercolors fill the pages with color from edge to edge. The loving African-American family is realistically rendered. Illustrator Amy June Bates has a knack for showing movement and action, and depicting real people.
Under the dust jacket the cover has the exact same artwork on the front and photo of Tony Dungy on the back.
Inspiring book for all ages August 19, 2008
I must admit that I have a great admiration for Coach Dungy's coaching style. This book translates the warm compassion and support for success into a children's book. The word and the illustrations are touching and inspire faith and the search to find one's calling. My granddaughter thoroughly enjoys this book. As does Grandpa who is a big NFL fan.
Very Sweet August 14, 2008
This is about Tony's brother who struggles becuase he just doesn't know what he dreams for and is considered a bit of a showoff. It is about knowing that we can all find our dreams, no matter how big or small, and about having the belief and faith in God to do it. Very sweet and inspirational.
Well done, Coach! August 13, 2008
I read the book, had my granddaughter read it to her girlfriends and then she shared it with more friends at her 18th birthday party. I intend for my other grands to read it and give a book to my greatgrands. I also gave a book to a friend who has three children and also is affiliated w/ a group of moms with special needs children. I thought it would be good to read to them and their young ones. You Can Do it! is so cute and positive. I like stories based on true-life experiences. Thank you.
 Good reading for youngsters August 10, 2008
Good book for children, but my grandsons were disappointed. They thought it was about fooball.
