Let’s Work!

"There's always reason to celebrate when Weill returns with another double delight in her First Concepts series... The concept this time around is jobs, in a narrative that asks little listeners to consider what they want to be when they grow up."

"These handmade miniature figures by master Mixtec artisans from the Mexican state of Puebla tease the imagination to explore the possibilities open to anyone with a dream and a goal. The featured professions are introduced in both English and Spanish without gender restrictions or value judgments--no one career is given precedence over another. . . Delightful."

"Tiny palm weavings created by the master artisans of Chigmecatitlán in Puebla, Mexico, are the stars of this career-themed dual-language book. . . An engaging opportunity for young readers to build vocabulary in two languages while encountering a unique craft practice that has endured since the 15th century."

"An accessible and interactive reading experience for beginners; colorful reproductions of the tiny yet vibrant figurines seem to pop off every page. A wide variety of vocations are displayed, with both males and females portrayed in most of the roles. . . Charming and colorful, this book does double duty for teaching children about art while inspiring them to dream about whatever they want to become."
