Gr 1–3—One of the best ways to get kids excited about reading is to inspire them to think about the professions that await them and to cultivate a collection that will shape their biggest dreams. Common professions and the educational path for each are detailed in a concise format, with easy textual and visual transitions between topics. In ¿Qué significa ser maestro?, different facets of teaching careers and all the various subjects one could teach are presented; content is not restricted to just the traditional roles that each profession serves in society but instead offers a more liberal, modern interpretation. This series scores high in multiple areas: Intersectional identities are represented, including ability diversity, and the translation quality hits the mark. VERDICT Recommended especially for school libraries but serves as an excellent update to a public library collection.
