![]() ![]() This gives Nigel the courage to announce to the class what he wants to be when he grows up. ![]() ![]() When his parents unexpectedly come into the classroom to talk about their careers they add that raising Nigel is the best career of all. He hears his classmates excitedly telling everyone that their parents are surgeons, candy factory owners and even a “weatherman” (ed: arched eyebrow to the weatherman portion of this) and becomes ashamed of his parents, a postal delivery person and a truck driver. For the rest of career week, Nigel keeps his secret from everyone except the moon. During career week while visiting the library, Nigel looks through the books, but he can’t find anyone who looks like him in his chosen (secret) professions (dancer, super-hero, astronaut). A small, black boy is not ready to tell anyone but the moon his dreams. ![]()
