PS
From an African American female CEO to a male nurse, McDonagh's stereotype-defying acrylic illustrations present a balanced mix of gender and race in this diverse and inclusive alphabet book of careers. With three to four careers per letter, the book features traditional jobs (doctor, teacher) alongside less-conventional gigs (ventriloquist, hot-air balloon pilot). An encouraging spin on a classic topic that's sure to give children a sense of possibility.
