The Abcs of What I Can Be

A fun, imaginative, and boldly illustrated book that gets kids thinking about life's possibilities.

A diverse group of children play-acts grown-up occupations, some familiar and others quite far-out. Dressing up in grown-up work clothes, the children try on occupations such as astronaut, artist, archaeologist, and athlete for A and ballerina, beekeeper, biochemist, and bus driver for B to zipper maker, Zumba instructor, and zen gardener for Z.

The book is imaginative and joyful and sends out wonderful messages about exploring possibilities while teaching the ABC's.
