Every morning, Mama and Papa help Hello Kitty get ready for school.
Come along with Hello Kitty, Leah!
Mama and Papa are the grown-ups at Hello Kitty’s house. Grown-ups take care of their families.
Grown-ups can do lots of other jobs too, like driving a school bus.
Teachers help students learn letters, numbers, and all about the world.
What do the blocks spell, Leah?
Leah, do you think it would be fun to be a teacher when you grow up?
Or maybe you’ll be a dancer and jump high in the air.
Leah
You could fly a plane high in the sky.
Say hello to the birds, Leah!
Or you could float out among the stars while your spaceship stands by.
How many stars do you see, Leah?
Do you love to run and play like Hello Kitty? Then being a soccer star could be just the thing for you when you grow up!
Nice kick, Leah!

L!
Farmers have an important job: they plant crops and help them grow.
Thank you, Leah!
Sailors get to make new friends in faraway places.
Who are Hello Kitty’s ocean friends, Leah?
Scientists make new discoveries in their science labs.
That would be exciting!
If you were a firefighter, you could come to the rescue!
If you were a doctor or a nurse, you could help your friends when they get hurt, Leah.
Don’t worry, Teddy! You’ll be okay!
There are so many things you could do when you grow up!
But you have a job now— well, not one job, but two! To try hard at school every day…
And when you get home, to laugh and play! Welcome home, Leah!
What do you want to be when you grow up?
