About this title

Synopsis

A practical and inspiring children's guide to money, careers, and the future.

Children frequently ask what they should be when they grow up. Surrounded by adults whose jobs seem to define them, they learn to expect simple answers, like "a doctor," or "a teacher, '' or "a lawyer."

But the truth can be a lot more complicated. Deciding what to do with your working life is one of the biggest, most difficult questions of all. This beautifully illustrated guide helps expand children's ideas about work and inspire them to think creatively about their future, while reminding them that their dream job might not even exist yet!

Written expressly for children, this unique book works through important questions like: How can I discover my passions? What does a "good" job involve? How much money should I make? How does the economy function?

Perfect for curious kids ages eight and up, What Can I Do When I Grow Up is sure to spark fruitful conversations that excite and inspire the next generation.

• THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED FOLLOW UP to to Big Ideas for Curious Minds.
• A THOUGHTFUL AND PRACTICAL GUIDE to the world of careers, aspirations, and jobs.
• TALKS TO CHILDREN ABOUT MONEY in an an approachable, pragmatic way.
• BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS by Tyla Mason throughout.
• INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES for children 8 and up.
