I may be small, but I dream big about what I might be
My future’s bright, no end in sight, with options A to Z.

It’s never too early to ask yourself, “What will I be when I grow up?” But the reality is that many fields do not represent the wonderful diversity of our world. Helping children of all genders, races, and abilities to see themselves in a variety of professions, What Will I Be? From A to Z is an introduction to STEAM fields from astronaut to zoologist. With simple rhyming text and colorful illustration from the dream team behind A Steminist Force, author Laura Carter and illustrator Anna Doherty, comes an invitation to dream big and follow your passion.
