The Book, “Dear Graduate”, challenges the age-old question, “What do you want to BE when you grow up?” by changing it to, “What will you DO when you grow up?” The book asks 33 questions of graduates of any age about how they want to spend their time and what values they’ll develop. The hardcover book is 6”x 6”, 88-pages of text and bold colors, starting with a page for a note that makes it the perfect keepsake gift.
Evaluation comments:
“This is a charming book”
“I like how it shifts your mindset on what different jobs actually entail.” Instead of the typical question “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Dear Graduate asks instead “what will you do?” This change in questioning helps shift the perspective of the reader. Instead of just saying “I’m going to be a doctor,” the book shifts that to “will you care for our health, our bodies, minds, and souls?” It allows the reader to fully appreciate how they want to spend their career life rather than just a blanket job title.”
“The quality of the words feels important. Giving young readers the perspective of how their future career will shape the world feels like a powerful gift.”
“I liked how it was short and sweet. I love the messaging that allows you to dive deeper into a job and how it affects others and the world around you.”
“I think this is a nice addition to a graduation present or in lieu of a card. There is an area in the front of the book that allows a personal note to be written to the recipients.”
