REVIEWS

I love this picture book because it teaches children a growth mindset and also about prosthetics. 

What Can Hayes Be? is a wonderful story of a young boy with a prosthetic leg. This book was written by Hayes mom, Kayce Smith.

What Can Hayes Be? brings the reader through the story of Hayes, who “had a leg of steel that changed as he grew”. The author takes the reader through the various color and shape options and how this empowers him versus holding him back. After learning of her son’s right limb deficiency, Kayce wanted to provide a story of strength and inspiration for children who has prosthetic limbs and provide resources for parents. 

Hayes can do anything he wants to do! He can play golf, surf, do ninja kicks and much more! I love this picture book because it teaches children a growth mindset and also about prosthetics, which they might not learn about unless they meet a person with one.
