Synopsis

A reassuring and thoughtful guide to work, money and the future — written especially for children aged 9–11.

It’s almost impossible for a child to spend much time around adults without being asked: “What do you want to do when you grow up?”
The trouble is, it isn’t a simple question at all. Many children feel confused, pressured or quietly irritated by it — and they’re right to.

This book explores careers and the world of work in a completely different way. Instead of pushing children to choose a single “dream job”, it helps them understand what work really involves — and why it’s normal not to know yet.

Inside, readers will discover:

  • Why it’s hard to know what you want to do — and why that’s nothing to worry about
  • What makes a job good or disappointing, beyond pay or status
  • How to think sensibly about money and success
  • Why many future jobs don’t yet exist

Calm, intelligent and illustrated throughout, this book builds confidence and curiosity — and invites thoughtful conversations about growing up.
