I know. I have a family full of special people who serve humanity by teaching our children the things that will inspire future generations to change the world.
It is my pleasure to recommend to every mother, father, teacher and child who reads this book review blog to buy Valencia resident Willa Robinson’s new children’s book, “I Will be a Teacher When I Grow Up.”
Beautifully hard bound and illustrated by Mike Miller, this picture book is perfect for elementary school children who are considering what positive person they will someday become.
“I Will be a Teacher When I Grow Up” is a story about Mrs. Hamilton, a kindergarten teacher who shares the story about how, and why, she became a teacher.
The book is wonderfully written and full of love for life. “I Will be a Teacher When I Grow Up” is the first in Robinson’s new “I Will Be” series of children’s books and is available through Robinson’s Web site, www.knowledgepowerinc.com.
Willa Robinson is an author, publisher and public speaker. “I Will be a Teacher When I Grow Up” and her future titles can be found on her Web site.
Robinson’s goal with her new series is to inspire children early in life with positive vocations and career models.
“(“I Will be a Teacher When I Grow Up”) is the perfect empowerment book for children of all ages and backgrounds,” said book supporter Synthia Saint James. “One of the affirmations in this book is YES YOU CAN! which also mirrors our new era with President (Barack) Obama’s “Yes I Can” generation.”
Robinson next titles include “I Will be a Lawyer,” “I Will be a Nurse,” and “I Will be a Doctor.”
Willa Robinson is an author and publisher with a vision to encourage and inspire children to start dreaming
about their future at an early age. Robinson believes children will mirror what they are taught and shown.
Robinson’s career spans more than 25 years of advertising, marketing and publishing experience. Robinson knew at an early age she was going to be a writer.
After being injured in the horrific train wreck on January 26, 2005 in Glendale, California where 11 people were killed and 180 were injured, she made a decision to fully express her ultimate purpose: writing and publishing. Robinson is the visionary behind Knowledge Power Communications.
The idea for the the “I Will Be” series was birthed from her sleepless nights and therapy after the train wreck catastrophe. Robinson believes children need to identify with professionals that look like them, and who have come from similar backgrounds. Robinson also believes that there are so many careers that kids never even think of because they don’t get the publicity that is deserved.
Robinson feels her had work, genuine love for people, her strong faith in God, a good support system – her family, friends and mentors – have been the key to a happy and successful career. All of these elements have allowed her to the freedom to pursue her dreams.
A native of Kansas City, Kansas, Robinson now resides in Valencia, California.
