Aria is a mighty little third grader navigating her school’s career week. She has the daunting task of figuring out what she wants to be when she grows up. Taking on each day with a different job to try, Aria learns new lessons everyday that have her wondering if she is searching for the answer to the right question. She soon discovers whether she should be asking herself about what she wants to be when she grows up or something greater. In this new children's book from author Kyra Burns, Aria’s career week is about to teach her more than she thought and leads to a transformation that not only her only little eight year old self needs to realize but a lesson that people of all ages need to remember.
"Kyra’s book serves as an entertaining reminder that it is better to be brave (to try things and sometimes fail) than to be perfect — an important edict for kids and adults alike."
Shana Goldberg-Meehan, TV writer and producer
“In a social media world built on who you follow, it’s refreshing to read a story of a girl who dares to lead."
