Children often dream of what they'll be when they grow up, but they don't always understand just how many wonderful careers their futures could hold.

In "The World Is So Wide," author Jess Rush and illustrator Kadet Kat combine their skills to explore the many career possibilities available today. Rush avoids conventional careers, introducing children to job possibilities they probably never considered.

Rush presents a new career for every letter of the alphabet, with each career accompanied by Kat's bright, vivid illustrations.

While exploring careers and teaching the alphabet, Rush and Kat also promote diversity and acceptance. Different cultures and nontraditional gender roles appear throughout the book, subtly reminding children careers are open to anyone, and encouraging discussion with parents or teachers.

Colorfully illustrated, fun, and informative, "The World is So Wide" provides an entertaining introduction to career choices for children ages four to eight.
