Summary
In Coop Learns He Can, the youngest member of the Wheelie family learns that he is fearfully and wonderfully made by God.
Coop dreams of doing big, important things like his older siblings do. He is excited to go off-roading with Joy, a Jeep, but as a MINI-Cooper, he can’t keep up. Coop becomes sad that he isn’t built to climb rocks and fling mud like his sister and wonders if the Bible verse they had been memorizing about being fearfully and wonderfully made applies to him. When Joy gets stuck and needs her brother’s speed and agility to rescue her, Coop realizes that God did give him special talents of his own.
The third book in The Wheelies series, written by Sarah Reju and illustrated by Tania Rex, Coop Learns He Can will show children ages 3–8 that God made each person unique and special with their own purpose.
- Children will learn that God made them just as they are and to trust that God knew exactly what he was doing.
- Children will be captivated by a fun story about a family of cars and trucks.
- Special section for parents provides points for further conversations about embracing our strengths and weaknesses

My Kid Review
I loveThe Wheelies series by Sarah Reju. Coop is a character pre-schoolers can relate to. In Coop Learns He Can the messages are that God made us all unique and that no matter how small we are, we do have a purpose.
Tania Rex’s illustrations are whimsical. Young children will enjoy them as they expand the text. They tell the story so that young children can understand the story even without having to read.
I appreciate the section at the back of the book for parents. It includes questions as well as parenting tips.
Coop Learns He Can would make a great addition to the picture book section of a K-12 Christian school library.
I received a complimentary copy of Coop Learns He Can. This is my honest review.
