In December of 2025 all 751 second graders in Waterloo Community Schools received two special gifts. One gift was a children’s book, “I’m Tyler … don’t be surprised”. The book was the brainchild of Tyler’s cousin, Paul, and his son, Nolan. It closely follows Tyler’s video of the same name. That video can also be viewed on or downloaded from this website. It is a story about Ability Awareness, about how everyone has abilities and that what someone, anyone, CAN do is much more important than what they can’t do. It’s a story about accepting people for who they are and being kind and helpful to others. The second gift was a small, cuddly bear, Baby Bear, wearing a “No Can’t’s” t-shirt. Baby Bear is a complement to the book and appears on most every page. Veridian Credit Union and The Tyler Greene Fund at the Waterloo Community Foundation supported this project.[video_player file=”https://imtyler.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/KWWL-NBC_2025-12-17T18_14_45__5429666-06_00D69169.mp4″]
