Thank you NetGalley and Familius for this eARC of What Will I Be from A to Z by Laura Carter.

Very super cute book to reach to my little ones. We're still in the alphabet and coming up with a word on each letter - love the theme on this one. This def got my son's attention and we got to talk about each "job" for each letter. It was a very fun communication/bonding time with my crazy little one. Highly recommend for toddlers and pre-k

"What Will I Be from A to Z?" captures dreams for the future and careers that follow the alphabet structure from A to Z. Diverse children are shown throughout the rhyming text. This book would be good for both home and school reads. At school, it can be paired with career exploration. Both can be connected to play as illustrations show children playing with trains being connected to a career as a nurban planner. Career research questions at the end can be used as an extension activity. For grades PreK - 2nd.

Give me all the books about kids in STEM, and with so much female representation!!! I loved that each letter was a fantastic job, that included a fun description with real terminology. It really opened up conversations about the different jobs that we can be.
It really helped my 6yo see how many options there are when she grows up.
I also loved the diversity, without there seeming to be an agenda with the genders and the races depicted.
This is one that I will come back to again and again when we buy a physical copy.
And the length of each description was perfect, nothing felt lengthy.

WHAT WILL I BE FROM A TO Z is a poetic ode to a variety of STEAM careers to inspire young readers to dream big. With reader-friendly vocabulary and inclusive artwork that helps to support content, the book describes different jobs from A (astronaut) to Z (zoologist). The wide range of jobs includes those in the arts and trades fields as well as many in sciences. The book is a great addition to elementary school shelves to provide an introduction to career education while setting goals for the future.

Super cute and diverse kids book! My 3 and 5 year old both enjoyed listening to me read it and learning about different careers

This is a delightful picture book with bouncy, rhyming text and illustrations depicting children in a variety of jobs and careers. The children in the pictures are very diverse and the careers cover everything from Astronaut to Zoologist. Every child will be able to see themselves reflected in the pages and there is plenty here to help answer the question, "What do I want to be when I grow up?" Fun read aloud to a story time audience or the child sitting in your lap before bed.

STEM careers are demonstrated in this book as children work in their chosen jobs as shown in beautiful, brightly colored illustrations arranged in the A to Z format, and described in catchy verse. A list of thoughtful questions concludes the book.

This is an excellent way to present some of the many occupations available to today’s young people.

What a fun book! The variety of jobs is amazing and the explanations of those jobs are very appropriate for children. It is great to present such a wide array of careers in a way that is fun and approachable. I'm also happy to see “Y” isn’t for YouTuber. The artwork is beautiful and offers a diverse view of kids doing the aforementioned jobs. The research prompts at the end are a thoughtful addition.

Thankyou for granting me an arc in exchange for honest review ✨

This is a beautifully presented and inclusive picture story book, which inspires children to reach for the stars. A vast array of aspirational jobs are outlined using engaging rhyming verses. I will happily read this to my children, I am sure they will adore it.

This is such a phenomenal book. I loved the beautiful illustrations. It was refreshing to not see the same career choices, but a wide variety with simple, yet informative descriptions! A wonderful book!

Such a sweet and inspiring children’s picture book! The illustrations do a great job of showing people from all different backgrounds and walks of life. It introduces complex careers in a fun, kid-friendly way that helps children understand and imagine all the things they can grow up to be.

I absolutely loved it and believe every child should have this book in their home library. As a stewardess, I’d be thrilled to add a copy to my Little Free Library for the neighborhood kids to enjoy!

Thank you to NetGalley and Familius for the advance eBook.

A strong addition to STEAM themed picture books and the A to Z theme. The diversity in race, religion, and body type, as well as the differently abled bodies represented is stellar! Each career has a four lined rhyming description and the STEAM careers represented are unique and specific. Additional back matter offers a great way to start discussions with littles about careers and community helpers while also giving them the chance to make a personal connections.

What a cute A to Z picture book about careers in STEM! The careers and illustrations are diverse and creative. The rhyming and cadence is also great for kids. The end includes conversation starters/research questions to allow kids to investigate further. Thank you Netgalley and Familius for the cute and fun ARC.

What Will I Be From A to Z will definitely be finding a home on our physical bookshelf. The rhymes and cadence make it fun to read aloud all while highlighting an impressively diverse array of STEAM careers, many of which are refreshingly uncommon in children’s books.

The representation in this book is outstanding—kids of all genders, races, sizes and abilities. The illustrations are both whimsical and modern.

My only wish? I’d love to see the ABC letters featured more prominently on each page—it would help reinforce letter recognition alongside career exploration.

A fun yet inspiring book that showcases several career options for children, with beautiful illustrations. Lovely.
I got the ARC from Familius via Netgalley. Opinions expressed are mine

The book is so cute! To my surprise, there are some career I didn’t know existed until now. The art style is very cute, and I love the pastel palette they used for this book as well.
