Whether you're just out of college or have been on the job for 20 years, you'll love this clever and quite wise little book on the art of being a grown-up (different from an adult, you know). Tips range from how to do the perfect high-five (a necessity in an elementary classroom) to how to trust your gut-- oh, and how to open a bottle of champagne.
