How to Be a Person: 65 Hugely Useful, Super-Important Skills to Learn Before You're Grown Up

Funny life-skills guide for almost-grown kids

This is the kind of book kids actually want to read because it feels helpful, funny, and never preachy. It takes all the everyday things grown-ups nag about and turns them into doable, confidence-building skills, from folding laundry to being kinder and more dependable. The graphic-novel style makes it breezy, and readers will probably come away feeling a little more capable in real life.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This how-to book for kids aged 10 and up passes along essential life skills—without the parental nagging. For the kid who leaves a wet towel wadded up on the floor or forgets to replace the toilet paper, writer and etiquette columnist Catherine Newman has written a guide to becoming someone everyone enjoys having around. Jam-packed with tips, tricks, and skills—all illustrated in a graphic-novel style—this book shows kids how easy it is to free themselves from parental nagging and become a more dependable person—and they’ll like themselves better, too. They’ll learn how to deal with dirty rooms, care for pets and cacti, stand up for somebody, and fold a T-shirt. They’ll even get a crash course on using the kitchen (including how to turn a 33-cent package of ramen into dinner) and a boot camp for lending a hand outside the house (mowing, shoveling, and fixing something loose).
