About this title

Synopsis

For grads of all ages, this joyful, vibrant giftbook challenges the age-old question of what will you be?, and instead asks what will you do?

Graduation is both exciting and riddled with unknowns—a moment when we stop to ask ourselves big questions. By turns whimsical and introspective, Dear Graduate playfully asks readers how they want to spend their lives and what values they'll develop. The 30 questions in this bite-sized and poignant book encourages grads—or anyone at a crossroads—to consider who they aspire to be and what sort of mark they dream of making on the world.

Examples include:

• Will you treat every other person, animal, and living thing with respect and care?
• Will you invent something useful that we’ve never seen before?
• Will you grow flowers or bring them (and joy) to our doors?
• Will you juggle numbers, dishes, or bowling ball pins?
• Will you cheer on your friends and family to succeed?

With sentiments that offer us an opportunity to think deliberately about the decisions ahead, readers of all ages can enjoy this compact and colorful gift book that celebrates one of life’s most momentous milestones.
