EL (K-3), EL – ESSENTIAL.
A young girl is getting ready for Career Day at her school. Her teacher has told her to keep her dream a secret, but each of the important adults in her life give her something that is special to their lives that she incorporates into her own chosen career – astronaut.
I love so many things about this book. I love that the girl is African American. I love that she talks to her grandparents. I love that she can keep a secret and still incorporate the treasured offerings into her project. And I love that she is dreaming big! A great read aloud, a great discussion starter, a great example of how to approach career day – so many classroom uses.
