BACK COVER
This book answers the most popular question for elementary
students: "What do you want to do when you grow up?

I originally wrote this book to inspire my 10 year old mentee and
his classmates to be better and then I realized kids all over need
the same type of encouragement and the same type of
exposure to many career options that they probably would not
learn otherwise. I asked my mentee what he wanted to be when
grows up and he told me a very typical response which was a
basketball player. I then said what if that does not work, he then
said he would sell shoes in the mall. I then said, have you ever
thought about being a lawyer or a doctor or an engineer and
then he said no. I explained what a lawyer was and in minutes
he said he wants to be lawyer. Whether he decides he wants to
be a lawyer or not, I just exposed him to something else and
that is why I wrote Kids, Be Great. I want to expose kids all over
the globe.

There are several stories in this book before the display of
careers that address the following list of traits: the power of
reading, self discipline, hard work, failure, name calling, fighting,
good note taking, double checking school work, boredom,
positive competition, goal setting, the value of doing your best,
responsibility, rushing to get finished, doing extra work ahead
of time and more.

After your kids read this book, ask them to discuss the book
with you to see what lessons they learned. Check their
comprehension.
