An Introduction to Career Development and STEAM Careers
"What do you want to be when you grow up?" This is a common and favorite topic of discussion for kids. It's never to early to start talking about how and why people do the work they do. The Career Explorer is a book that introduces children to the basic principles of the career development process. With the help of Mae Morer, the career explorer, children learn that choosing a career is a life-long process that starts with looking inside themselves at their values, interests, personality, and skills. Colorful geometric illustrations and rhyming text highlight a selection of possible careers in STEAM fields (science, technology, engineering, art, and math). While the focus of the book is career development, it also features characters with hearing aids, glasses, leg braces/crutches, and feeding tubes. I want all children to see themselves in this book! Recommended Ages 4- 12 |
