Description

Well-versed in the jobs of firemen and racecar drivers, children are now inspired to aspire to be more! What Do Grown-Ups Do All Day introduces to children what's there to become in terms of following their interests. Children often think about what they will be when they grow up; Beyond the traditional options of fireman or astronaut, What Do Grown-Ups Do All Day depicts punk rock drummers, journalists, male nurses, bistro chefs, designers, and more. What Do Grown-Ups Do All Day illustrates that anything is possible for girls and boys. Looking at the adults around them, children curiously ponder possible professions. Father, mother, uncle, big sister: every family member serves as career inspiration. This is the new collaboration with Dawid Ryksi; What Do Grown-Ups Do All Day provides children with creative fuel for professional daydreams and various career paths in Ryski's iconic vintage style and easy to read aloud descriptions.

Reviews

"The careers range widely, from a mechanical engineer, astronaut, and architect (all women!) to a gardener, brewer, and tattoo artist... With its wide range of jobs and commendable gender balance, this will have a place in classrooms." -KIRKUS
