This book is aimed at teaching young readers about potential professions they can engage in as adults. In a devastatingly poor country where 60% of the population is not formally employed, and much of the population is illiterate, it is beneficial for children to have an education and learn more about what they can do to contribute to their community and earn a living to ensure a better life for their and future generations. By writing in the first person form of "I could be...", readers are instilled with the idea that they can be anything they aspire to be.

Friends of African Village Libraries is a non-profit organization with the goal to assist the rural poor of Africa with the creation of village libraries. FAVL has established and continues to manage fifteen libraries in Africa, ten in Burkina Faso, three in Ghana, one in Tanzania and one in Uganda. FAVL knows the importance of stocking libraries with books by local authors and in local languages. In order to provide relevant books, FAVL publishes books featuring photos and stories from the FAVL libraries. These books have been put together by a team of students who were a part of Santa Clara University's Reading West Africa Study abroad program. After three months in Burkina Faso, the students paired their experiences at FAVL libraries with their photography to create children's books tailored to the villages and their residents. Combining the books and FastPencil’s innovative publishing technology will bring more culturally relevant books to African villages at a lower cost.
