Motivational book for kids.. I feel like it could have had more in it.. but overall okay.

Promises to oneself in times that are good and in times that are hard. I love that LeBron spoke of promising to ask for help when it's needed and about staying humble and strong in times of victory and defeat. The promises made covered many aspects of life, and at the end of the book, it discusses how in the school he started, each child makes promises to themselves as a way to achieve their goals and dreams. The illustrations were so cheery, colorful, and playful.

This is a good "conversations with my kid" book. I think if they're reading it by themselves, it's sort of like when they recite something in class or have to do chores. They don't feel it, they just know they're supposed to say ok. But using it as a launching piece for a discussion about personal responsibility, civic duty, and ambition... definitely a great book for that.
Also the illustrations make it. Beautiful, dynamic, textured, diverse.

It's unfortunate the Asian characters are illustrated with eyes more slanted compared to the rest of the kids. It takes away from what could be a book with positive affirmations.
