Good children's book with great diverse representation

Good children's book with great diverse representation
Truly a children's book with great illustrations and representation of gender and ethnic diversity. One page even includes space to place a photo so the reader could see themselves as an accountant. I could see using this maybe for up to 2nd or 3rd grade and love the idea of sharing with younger kids to set idea of possible future in accounting. Number of pages is a bit misleading in my opinion as would have to count every page, including title page, copyright, and dedication, etc to get 42 pages.

My background is in Accounting and I love the book and the illustrations . I love the book because when I was young, I had no idea what an Accountant did or had ever heard about this field. . I just thought that I was good in Math so I'd major in Accounting. I would love this book going back. Everything mentioned in the book is true . Accountants come in all shades, they're smart, they travel, they work in different industries and so forth . They travel and most importantly they can look like anyone. I hope to see more inspirational books ..

A very important children’s book that celebrates the diversity of working as an accountant, breaking the stereotype of what an accountant “should” look like. Wonderful messaging and the illustrations are beautiful!
