Terry's Many Hats -- Terry Crews, Hardcover

Multi-talented athlete, actor, artist, and writer Terry Crews celebrates the joy of pursuing your passions, no matter how ambitious, in his inspirational debut picture book about dreaming boldly.

Terry is a talented kid with big dreams and a whole lot of hats. On the football field, he's a star, and when he takes off his helmet, he puts on his other hats: in his beret he becomes an artist, in his chef's hat he cooks, and in his sparkly top hat, he's a magician!

Everyone's always telling him he can only be one thing and do one thing. But Terry's just the kid to prove that his dreams--and his hats--are limitless.
