What do you want to be?
From floating in space to climbing volcanoes, diving beneath the sea to working in the world's hottest deserts, Things to Do, Places to Be explores extraordinary jobs in incredible places. This fact-packed book introduces children to fascinating careers they may never have heard of, in environments they might never have imagined people could work.
Meet astronauts who see sixteen sunrises a day, scientists who study glaciers in the dark of the polar winter, canopy researchers living high in rainforest trees, underwater explorers uncovering shipwrecks, and desert astronomers gazing deep into space. Organized by dramatic environments—high up, icy cold, tropical, underwater, and desert dry—each chapter reveals what these jobs are really like, where they happen, and the surprising skills needed to do them. Along the way, you'll discover how science, adventure, teamwork, and curiosity shape the world of work.
Packed with eye-opening facts and global locations, Things to Do, Places to Be is an inspiring celebration of possibility, perfect for curious readers who love geography, adventure, and dreaming big about their future.
