A picture book about the jobs that don't exist yet — and the kids who'll do them.
Robot trainer. VR architect. Space tourism guide. Lunar farmer. The careers waiting for today's children look nothing like the ones on the classroom poster, and You Can Be Anything! hands them a passport to explore every one.
Written in rhyming couplets across 26 illustrated career spreads, the book takes young readers on a tour of the working world they're actually growing into — part job fair, part adventure, entirely built to make a child think I could do that.
Every spread puts a different child at the centre of it, because the point of the book is that the door is open to all of them.
It's written for the kid who hasn't decided yet, and for the grown-up who wants to widen the field of what "decided" could mean.
