Here's what folks are saying about the book!
Since the dawn of time, every kid has been asked the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Problem is, there's never really been a good answer. Until now. Kyra Burns and Stacy Coakley's new book Who Do You Want to be When You Grow Up manages to answer that unanswerable question in a delightful way that will charm both you and your child over and over again.

In a social media world built on who you follow, it’s refreshing to read a story of a girl who dares to lead. Cheers to Kyra Burns and this inspiring story that celebrates the power of being unique.

Love this book. A great example of showing kids the gift of acceptance, all the while trudging down a bumpy path to find their best selves
Daniel Powter, Musician
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. I love the message that who you are as a person matters as much or more than what you do!

As a mom to two little girls, and a therapist, it is so important that kids are taught they can be whoever they want to be. Kyra Burns in a creative and insightful way gets across that our professions don't define us and that the journey of self exploration is what truly defines success. This book can be used in therapy, a school setting, a tool for girl empowerment, and as a classic good bedtime story. This book is a fun, cute read for all ages, I highly recommend it!
