The Author's Inspiration...

This has been a passion project for Erica Brown Oliver.

Watching her children, at an early age, get asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, made her flash back to her own childhood, being asked the very same question at such a young age. That is when the book idea came to her. Her idea was to give children exposure to as many professions early on and inspire them to find and pursue their passions. She reached out to friends to ask if they would share their professions and with their overwhelmingly positive response, her interviews began!
