"What do you want to be when you grow up?" This is a common and favorite topic of discussion for kids. It's never too 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

During my 8+ years as a career counselor I worked with hundreds of college students struggling to choose majors and/or careers. Many of these young adults were experiencing significant distress over their decision. If only they were introduced to the career development process earlier, they would have the tools to navigate this journey.
