A Gift For The Grad

Yay, You!
Moving Out, Moving Up,
Moving On

Little Simon, April 2001
 

 This is the perfect celebratory book for "onwardly mobile" readers. The catchy rhymes speak to the graduate:

"You did it!"
"You're done!"
"You made it!"
"You're through!" 

Then asks, "Now what will you do?"

What follows is a tongue-in-cheek dash, in rhyme, through the many options life holds:

"Do you long for adventure?"
"Do you love to read maps?"
"Would you rather stay home with your chocolate, perhaps?"

It is a simple picture book perfect for giving. Behind all the silly illustrations and simple rhymes is a very real, very sweet sentiment of pride and support that any loving friend or family member will be glad to share with that special successful person, young or old.

I may be purchasing one for a certain graduate myself!
