educational book for kids about firefighters and what they do."
-Sean Daugherty, Firefighter and Long Beach City College Fire
Program Faculty Member "Wigu Publishing's book When I Grow Up I
Want To Be...a Firefighter helps our fire service communicate to
kids not to be afraid of firefighters and encourages them to engage
their parents in home fire safety. A fun, informative book that
hits the mark for safer families and communities." -Rob Patterson,
Battalion Chief, Orange County, California "A strongly recommended
book for candor in addressing and overcoming childhood fears in an
informed and most entertaining manner." -Toby Cremer, Licensed
Clinical Social Worker, Jewish Family and Children's Service, St.
Louis, Missouri "This book tells a wonderful story from beginning
to ending. I thoroughly enjoyed it as much as I did the first two
in the series. Kids will appreciate the honest way it deals with
very real aspirations and fears. The firefighter and fire truck
pictures alone make it worthwhile to own, and to give as a gift. I
look forward to the next book in this series." -William H.
Weintraub, Professor, University of Colorado, School of Journalism
and Mass Communications "This exciting book seamlessly explores
childhood fears and firefighting in a fun and educational manner.
As a professional firefighter for over 20 years, and a father of
two young boys, I appreciate the entertaining way When I Grow
Up.... accurately portrays professional firefighters and introduces
children to fire safety in the home. A permanent addition to my
family's bedtime reading material " -Andrew Hill, Fire Captain,
Laguna Beach Fire Department
