By: Elliot Archer, Maude Bouchard (Illustrator)

"The Adventures of Alex Salamander: What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?" follows young Alex as he grapples with the age-old question of what he wants to become in the future. Amidst the routines of school and the anxiety of a looming assignment, Alex contemplates his options. When the time comes for presentations, his classmates share their aspirations, ranging from being a policewoman to a dentist. However, Alex's response is unique and heartwarming; he wishes to embody qualities like kindness, happiness, calmness, confidence, patience, and helpfulness. This unexpected answer sparks a profound lesson for the class and encourages them to embrace these virtues on their journey to adulthood.

“The Adventures of Alex Salamander" offers a delightful tale that goes beyond the usual career aspirations of children's books. Instead, it beautifully emphasizes the importance of personal qualities and values in shaping one's future. The story is told in a warm, engaging manner, making it relatable for young readers and imparting a valuable lesson about the essence of character.
The characters, each with their unique aspirations, add depth to the narrative. Alex's thoughtful response showcases the power of empathy and self-improvement, making him a relatable and admirable protagonist. Mrs. Goldy Fish, the teacher, plays a pivotal role in fostering an atmosphere of acceptance and encouragement.

The book's message about the significance of kindness, happiness, calmness, confidence, patience, and helpfulness is delivered with sincerity. It serves as a gentle reminder for both children and adults about the qualities that truly matter in life. The story's conclusion leaves readers with a sense of hope and a call to reflect on their own aspirations.

Overall, the story is a heartwarming read that offers valuable lessons in an engaging and accessible manner. It encourages young readers to ponder not only what they want to do but also who they want to be. A wonderful addition to any children's bookshelf.
