Who Do You Want to Be?

What do you want to do when you grow up?

One day my best friend Said to me Who in the world Do you wanna be? I thought and thought And thought and said Maybe a fireman Cuz their trucks are red?

That's not a great reason-but there are dozens of other possibilities in this lyrical, illustrated story. It's an affirming book written for diverse kids aged 4-8 and their parents, but it just might appeal to anyone who isn't sure what they want to do for work. (And, really, who is?)

With large illustrations on just about every page and rhymes throughout, it's a great gift for any young kid. I'm contributing ten percent of the book's revenue to The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.
