It's a known fact that parents will always wonder about the type of person their baby will turn out to be when they grow up, but is the baby wondering just as much?

In this imaginative but educational book this question is explored through the eyes of a baby who was so excited to start exploring potential careers that they were born extra early! They may need some help along the way but they are determined to keep their eyes set on the future, even if it's a little scary.

Written by a former NICU momma of a 32 week preemie this book seeks to educate children on the various procedures, equipment & milestones babies may have to endure or overcome when they come early. NICU life is scary for grown ups, let alone the little ones who will someday look back at baby pictures that may look a little different from their full-term friends or even the siblings of a brand new early baby. You will find real life photographs along with age appropriate explanations. Blank spaces have also been provided to add photos so you can look back at how hard your baby worked during their "first real job."

My hope is this book can give some laughs during the intimidating early days that prematurity brings, comfort children who may feel scared or confused by such an intense medical journey & someday serve as a beautiful time capsule that you & your own over eager early baby can look back on with pride.
