You Can Do It, Bert! by Ole Konnecke is translated from its original German. The picture book promotes perseverance, courage, being a risk-taker.

 

“Bert is well prepared, mentally and physically.” Bert, a small bird, walks tentatively to the end of a branch, but can he jump off? “Bert checks everything one more time.” With encouragement from his friends, he leaps into a pool of water. He is proud of his achievement and his friends “always knew he’d do it.”
