Look what We Can Do
by Janine PetracekPublish: Aug 09, 2026Children's Book Overview
Samuel and Savannah were born on the same street in the same spring. Samuel learned to run, while Savannah received bubblegum-pink wheels and shared a smile that could light up an entire room.
At school, they meet friends who experience the world in their own remarkable ways: Leo listens with his eyes, Ruby spreads sunshine wherever she goes, Theo speaks without words, and Ava sees with all her other senses. When the lights suddenly go out, each child uses their unique abilities to help everyone find their way.
Together, they discover that the best question is not, “What’s wrong with you?” but “What can you do?”
Inspired by the author’s daughter, Savannah, Look What We Can Do is a warm, uplifting picture book about friendship, inclusion, and seeing ability first. Perfect for children ages 3–10, families, classrooms, and anyone who believes every child deserves to be seen, valued, and celebrated.
Every child is a light. Every single one shines.
