Award-winning author/illustrator Tedd Arnold really brings
nonfiction to life
From a young age many children express an interest in becoming a
vet. However, the classic representation of the profession no
longer fits with the realities of a modern veterinary career.
Children in the 8-12 age group are encouraged to think about career
options through dedicated syllabus programmes at Key Stages 2 and 3
and GCSE choices later on, but there is no veterinary career book
for this age group. To Vet School and Beyond is written in an
easy-to-read format, enabling the book to be a point of reference
right through from pre-GSCE to A level. Bold and interactive, with
plenty of illustrations and sub-sections, the book is a fresh and
modern perspective on the veterinary career. For children who are
curious about the veterinary world. This fun and approachable book
introduces, through profiles of real vets, the different sectors
beyond the familiar small animal/family vet practice in which
veterinarians can work, such as research, fish veterinary, zoo
medicine and charity work. It also provides some guidance in how to
study to get into veterinary school.
There is no single path to the job of your dreams. What does it
take to become a stuntperson? How does a mathematician spend her
days? When does a barber become the center of a community? In this
refreshing take on a careers book, meet twenty-five individuals of
different backgrounds, genders, and abilities who have found their
careers through a wide range of experience, education, intention,
and inspiration. From Joshua Jones, who built a business where he
could thrive as a Deaf interior designer, to Teresa Tam, whose
hunger for knowledge led her to the position of Canada's Chief
Public Health Officer, each of these dreamers found ways to dig
deep into their passion, to gain experience and knowledge, and to
turn that into a job. In If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It,
Colleen Nelson, middle-school teacher and award-winning author of
The Harvey Stories and The Undercover Book List, teams up with
children's librarian and literacy advocate Kathie MacIsaac to show
young readers that there are many paths to a dream job. Education
may come from university, college, trade school, apprenticeship,
specialized training, or simply asking questions and getting
involved. Your career may be something you're already dreaming
about or something you've never even heard of. No matter what,
success means feeling happy with the work you do. If You Can Dream
It, You Can Do It includes full-color photographs and
illustrations, informative sidebars, tips for trying out a field of
interest, a glossary, an index, and an interactive quiz. Spotlight
features on children and youth who are already gaining experience
for their own dream jobs round out this inspirational resource.

Determination meets dance in this prizewinning and New York Times
bestselling memoir by the history-making ballerina Misty Copeland,
vividly recounting the story of her journey to become the first
African American female principal ballerina at the prestigious
American Ballet Theatre. When she first placed her hands on the
barre at an after-school community center, no one expected
thirteen-year-old Misty Copeland to become one of America's most
groundbreaking dancers. A true prodigy, she was attempting in
months roles that take most dancers years to master. But when Misty
became caught between the control and comfort she found in the
world of ballet and the harsh realities of her own life, she had to
choose to embrace both her identity and her dreams, and find the
courage to be one of a kind. With an insider's passion, Misty opens
a window into the life of an artist who lives life center stage,
from behind the scenes at her first classes to her triumphant roles
in some of the world's most iconic ballets. A sensational memoir as
"sensitive" and "clear-eyed" (The Washington Post) as her dancing,
Life in Motion is a story of passion, identity, and grace for
anyone who has dared to dream of a different life.
In 2018, the gaming industry made over 100 billion dollars
