(4) K-3 Illustrated by Joanne Lew-Vriethoff. Written by a cohost of The View, this picture book reframes the question "What will I be?" to focus on service careers. Crossing the city, a father shows his uncertain daughter teachers, garbage collectors, military members, firefighters, journalists, librarians, and finally her mother--the mayor. The serviceable digitally colored illustrations match the book's clean didacticism, and the useful message is clear and accessible.
