This lyrical picture book from Tony award–winning producer Ashlee Latimer models joyful self-acceptance

Francis loves learning new words. At school, when her class is reviewing words that begin with the letter "F," someone sneers "Fat, like Francis." Francis always thought "fat" was a warm word—like snuggling with Mama or belly rubs for her puppy. But now "fat" feels cold, and Francis feels very small.

After school, Baba takes Francis to the park. She chooses the bench instead of the swing set, and gets very quiet. But when Baba uses the word "possible," Francis wants to know what it means. They explore the park together, discovering what's "possible" around them. Is it like airplanes, hovering in the sky? Or does it look like planting and how some things take a long time to grow?

"Possible" makes Francis feel warm and big—like "fat," before someone else made

her feel small. This ode to self-acceptance will model

for child readers what "possible" might mean in their own lives.

托尼奖获奖制片人阿什莉•拉蒂默（Ashlee Latimer）的这本抒情绘本向小读者们展示了自我接纳的快乐。

弗朗西斯喜欢学习新单词。在学校，当她的班级在复习字母F开头的单词时，有人用“Fat, like Francis”嘲笑弗朗西斯的身材。弗朗西斯之前一直认为“胖”是一个温暖的词，就像依偎着妈妈或给她的小狗揉肚子那种感觉一样。但现在“胖”听起来冷冰冰的，弗朗西斯感觉自己一下子不知道该怎么面对这个词了。

放学后，爸爸带弗朗西斯去公园。她沉默地坐在了长凳上，没有去玩平时最喜欢的秋千。这时候爸爸提出了“可能”这个词，弗朗西斯很好奇，想要知道它的意思。他们一起探索公园，发现周围的各种“可能”。它会像飞机一样在空中盘旋吗？或者像种植物一样需要很长时间才能生长呢？

“可能”这个词让弗朗西斯感觉很温暖、很重要，就像曾经“胖”这个词对她来说一样的美好，在其他人让这个词变坏之前。这首关于自我接纳的颂歌将为小读者们树立榜样，告诉他们“可能”在他们自己的生活中意味着什么。
