Gugglewump: A day in the life of an archaeologist
A charmingly illustrated children's book focusing on a gender-neutral, multi-coloured creature exploring a potential career whilst learning key vocabulary and skills along the way.
Gugglewump, a fluffy, multi-coloured creature, experiences different job roles to enlighten children on the variety of jobs that are available. The goal is to broaden children's understanding of the world of work, promote gender neutrality in career choices, and enrich their vocabulary via a vocabulary list at the back of each book. Through engaging rhyming couplets and vibrant illustrations, the book offers children a fun and educational look into careers they might not typically encounter.
The book aims to:
- Highlight job roles that do not get a lot of coverage.
- Combat the societal idea that some jobs are for men and some are for women.
- Improve representation of non-binary characters in children's non-fiction book.
- Teach children about career-specific skills and vocabulary.
Fans of The Gruffalo and Mr Benn will love this modern and educational take on different careers one can do.
