A musical play in ten scenes, “You Can Be What You Want to Be” is based on the Life of Maria Montessori. It was first performed at the Mercy Montessori Center in Cincinnati by the 9-12 Class who created the play together with Mary Aloyse, RSM. Under her direction, they planned the scenes, wrote the songs, and acted out the story as it might have been.

No elementary or middle school guide should be without this beautiful, up-to-date book.  It's a rich resource not only for the children, but also for the adults who work with them.  It's my very favorite plant book, and I have many plant books.  It was well worth paying the old price, so if it's now less expensive, there truly is no reason to wait!
