Pictures are treasured keepsakes and something the family will love. If you have a picture of the deceased you can include it when you sign the book or leave it with an accompanying note. I like that includes how to use gender neutral phrases to be inclusive, though this would be enhanced with some examples of how to use gender neutral language to avoid assumptions until a persons gender has been confirmed. For example, you can say “did you have fun with Marcie and their parents” and when you get the response “yes, her moms took us to the zoo” then now you know the gender pronouns to use and can reply “Great! I’m glad you had fun with marcie and her moms”. Or asking about someone’s partner until they confirm the language they use to refer to their partner “husband, girlfriend, wife, partner” etc and then using what they said. I didn’t learn that until adulthood and it’s really helpful language.

The tone and topics make this appropriate for middle school students, but it could be just as useful for high school and older, especially if the reader is possibly neurodivergent or simply in need of a bit of support in navigating social relationships.

Though she had everything a middle-aged American woman can aspire for – MONEY, CAREER, FRIENDS, HUSBAND; Elizabeth was not happy in her life, she wasn’t happy in her marriage. Having suffered a terrible divorce and terrible breakup soon after, Elizabeth was shattered. She didn’t know where to go and what to do – all she knew was that she wanted to run away. So she set out on a weird adventure – she will go to three countries in a year and see if she can find out what she was looking for in life. This book is about that life changing journey that she takes for one whole year. […] Kids in middle grade school often find it difficult to communicate or what to do in new situations. She discusses the basic social goals including manners indirectly. How to say hi to someone new, what to do about prejudice, how to be an ally and be supportive are only a few of the different social skills she talks about. She gives examples of what to do and what not to do. The author has done an excellent job of explaining skills I would not even consider social skills — just good manners. The art is friendly and funny. Fogg did an excellent job as the art goes perfectly with book. So many people are only communicating on their cell phones so when they meet an actual person, they may not know what to say or have forgotten because it’s been so long not sure what to do. This happens even at home. I like the author’s common sense and how she lets you know it is okay to be yourself. This book is important to read regardless of your age. I would heartily recommend this for school and community libraries as well as for a school psychologist or guidance counselor's bookshelf. There's no one who couldn't benefit from giving this a read!It is an inclusive book that encourages kids to get to know others who are different and teaches them how to stand up for marginalized communities in several different ways. I also LOVED that it gave clear examples of how to disrupt things like racism, homophobia, and ableism when it comes in the form of a “joke” or comes from a friend or family that we love. I think even as an adult it can be hardest to speak up to people we know rather than strangers, and this makes such a big difference for kids to know what to say to disrupt these ideas without straining a relationship. This is just as important as any other activism so I’m glad it was included in more than one example. One would think that this book is essential mainly for introverts (such as myself) who freeze at the mention of intermingling with strangers or going to a party alone. But the book is aimed not just at those who are reserved but also to those who are comfortable speaking in public but want to know how to interact better.

When in doubt, a simple ‘said’ is often enough. Instead of letting different ways to say ‘said’ do heavy lifting, remember this sage advice from Toni Morrison: Eric Carle is loved by children and parents alike, and his first hit book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar is perfect to read aloud with a child over and over again. 4. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr. Can I Say is a 2015 autobiography by American drummer Travis Barker, written with the help of the Rolling Stone and New York Times contributor Gavin Edwards.

Yes, it can be used to emphasize agreement with a statement that has been made. For example, "The cake is delicious, what can I say?" Here it underscores the speaker's agreement with the statement.
