"A stirring invitation to leap, dive, soar, plunge and thrill to the
natural world's wonders and glories." --Kirkus Reviews STARRED
REVIEW
"What do you want to be when you grow up?" is a question kids get asked
over and over. But very few connections are made for kids between the
present and the future. This book shows kids a pathway from their
current interests and talents to a future career or interest. And in so
doing, it also encourages adventure, exploration, and discovery, three
core principles of National Geographic's mission. It's a celebration of
possibility--so simple and so profound.
Jumping in puddles can inspire scuba diving. Dirty hands can lead to
dinosaur bones! Backyard star-gazing inspires future astronauts.
Perfectly selected photos make the connections compelling and the future
real for kids, then rich back matter brings the message home with
inspirational quotes from the real-life adventurers pictured in the
images. Grown-ups won't be able to resist sharing this inspirational
message with kids, and kids won't be able to resist the invitation to
let their imaginations run wild.
