When Jane O’Connor was a small girl, every Sunday, when her grandma and great aunts came to visit, Jane would greet them at the door in a tutu and a pair of her mom’s high heels. She thought she looked très glamorous! Years later, while she was fixing dinner one night, the name Fancy Nancy flew into Jane’s head, and a star made her debut!

In 2010, I Can Read titles began being released digitally. Today the list of I Can Read ebooks is over 300 titles long.
The 2010s
2013 Victoria Kann’s daughters could never seem to get enough of cupcakes or the color pink! One year, as an April Fools’ joke, Victoria told her family and friends that one of her daughters had turned pink from eating too many pink cupcakes—and so the idea for Pinkalicious was born!
2017
I Can Read introduces biographies into the program, complete with a timeline and historical photos.
When James Dean first saw Pete, he was a tiny black kitten in a shelter. Pete looked like he had been starved and his black fur was a mess. At first, James had no interest in Pete—black cats were bad luck, after all! But the scrawny little fellow stuck his paw out of the cage, wanting to play! James took Pete home. And even though James chose to paint Pete the Cat blue (his favorite color), James realizes now that black cats are actually very good luck.
