Your Choice! All Kinds of Awesome by Jess Hitchman

The sky's the limit. You can wield a hammer as a MAKER, or stir up something delish as a BAKER!

WHAT WILL YOU BE?

You can dress up fancy--be awesome at fashion. Or you can play your trumpet with great passion.

You can find your place in a great big city, or out in the country where it's green and pretty.

You can dance in a show, or coax awesome flowers to grow.

KNOWING WHERE YOU WANT TO GO, OR CHOOSING ALONG THE WAY!

You can be an intrepid trowel-wielding archaeologist and and make an awesome FIND. Or you could decide what to wear, finally making up your MIND.

You can put out many a fire, or choose to inspire. You can fly high in the sky, or dive deep under the sea. There are so many ways...

TO BE AWESOME TO ME!

Although parents may come to groan at the repetition of that word which has come to be the universal kid superlative, the truth is that the choice of occupations and other endeavors for today's tykes is, well, AWESOME.

No more mere "tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor...." The list of choices of occupations and avocations and just ways to be waiting for today's preschoolers is almost unlimited, as shown in author Jess Hitchman's and illustrator Vivienne To's recently published All Kinds of Awesome.

Author Jess Hitchman finds just the right rhymes, and illustrator Vivienne To's exuberant youngsters of all sorts having the times of their lives are inspiring to preschoolers and early graders. Writes School Library Journal, "...Pictures and sound of the words will be pure fun for preschoolers while older readers will appreciate the message that there are enough kinds of awesome to include them and their passions."
