When I Grow Up
What do YOU want to be when you grow up?
It’s the question which has stumped little kids and big kids for years, but, when her class is asked to come up with an answer, Annie has some unique ideas of her own.
How about Alien Hunter? Or Master Ice Cream Taster?
When she struggles to choose just one job, her teacher has some surprising advice for her.
Beautifully illustrated, expertly rhymed, with a poignant message about the importance of imagination, following our dreams and not being afraid to change our minds, this captivating picture book will delight again and again.
“I would have loved to have a book like this when I was a little girl. This book is for every girl who dreams big as well as for someone who needs wings to let her imagination fly. This book is for every boy for they need to read and understand more of the girls’ world. This book is also for grown-ups who need to feel okay with dreaming of being something else than whatever role they are playing at present.”
“The style of When I Grow Up reminded me of Roald Dhal and Mr Dove’s language was occasionally reminiscent of Lewis Carroll so that I felt this book deserves its place amongst the very best children’s fiction. It made me smile and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Great stuff.”
“Perfect book for a read aloud. This is basically everything you’re looking for in a children’s book.”
