Careers From A-Z came about as a result from teaching and mentoring children through the Arts and Social Emotional Learning. I eventually would ask each child if they knew what they wanted to be when they grew up? Many of them did not know! This reality was a discouraging one, but I knew that this was a topic of discussion that needed to be put in the forefront, and get into schools throughout the country, but most importantly is get this book in the hands of every child and target expectant Mom’s!
I admonish every parent to begin to read this book to their children, “From the womb, to resume after the delivery room and beyond”; and to ignite every child’s imagination to dream and ultimately build self-esteem.
It is never too early to expose children to careers and aspirations for their future! When they begin to talk, and while they’re learning their ABCs, Careers From A-Z is the perfect book to accompany that learning process and jumpstart a vocabulary describing aspiring careers. Since words have power, this can be an exciting time to introduce all children to a future of endless possibilities.
Studies show that a child's brain rapidly develops in the first three years of their life, and the first seven years show validity in developing social skills.
The early stages of life are the prime time to direct their imagination, ultimately setting an inspiring foundation for a well-balanced child to emerge from every career they are drawn to observe!
The 26 pages of the alphabet depict beautiful colors and images of children from every ethnic group representing various careers from A-Z. After all the children are our future, and if we want to see a brighter tomorrow, we must invest in the life of a child today!
