"A stirring invitation to leap, dive, soar, plunge and thrill to the natural world’s wonders and glories." --Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEW

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" is a question kids get asked over and over. But very few connections are made for kids between the present and the future. This book shows kids a pathway from their current interests and talents to a future career or interest. And in so doing, it also encourages adventure, exploration, and discovery, three core principles of National Geographic's mission. It's a celebration of possibility--so simple and so profound.

Jumping in puddles can inspire scuba diving. Dirty hands can lead to dinosaur bones! Backyard star-gazing inspires future astronauts. Perfectly selected photos make the connections compelling and the future real for kids, then rich back matter brings the message home with inspirational quotes from the real-life adventurers pictured in the images. Grown-ups won't be able to resist sharing this inspirational message with kids, and kids won't be able to resist the invitation to let their imaginations run wild.

I'm a school librarian, and I read this to every class at my school, and it's a hit! Every turn of a page brought new oohs and ahhs. I loved that the students saw their chance for new opportunities, new adventures. Get out there, the world is waiting for you!

Fabulous photographs and inspirational text for just about any reader.

I was expecting this to have less pictures & more inspiration. However the pictures are familiar & beautiful

The World is Waiting for You by Barbara Kerley leans more to the baby book style. It is very simple in that there are only a few words on each page and very big photographs. This book is composed of National Geographic photographs with one person exploring some aspect of nature. Photos include: looking outside of a window, walking through the forest, playing in water, swimming with dolphins, playing in the mud, digging up bones, gazing at the stars, outer space, mountains, trees, cliffs, beaches, crystal caverns and so forth. Some of the text is in the form of a question.

I love the photos in the book and the fact that it presents a little info at a time and has questions. Pictures say a thousand words. Because of this, and the fact that all of these pictures vary from page to page, an imaginative reader could create a new story with every page. A creative writing student could come up with several ideas for their next writing assignment. I am sure children will love this book because it is so vivid, but adults will as well because the pictures are of real life.

All of the places can be explored, though many people never venture out to do so. This book would motivate the reader to go outside and explore new territory. It also stimulates the mind and takes you to places you would never see if you had not picked up the book. There is a whole other world out there. It is just waiting to be explored.
