When I grow up, what shall I be?

This exuberant book offers up everything from a paper plane folder to a puppy dog holder, from a silly joke teller to a snowball smoother.

Newbery-Award winning author Jerry Spinelli’s simple and charming rhymes are accompanied by internationally-renowned illustrator Jimmy Liao’s vibrant and fantastical illustrations. This book is an imaginative joyride about hopes and dreams, and a reminder of all the possibilities life has to offer. So, what do you want to be? Remember–you can be anything!

  • * "[An] uplifting, imaginative vision of life's possibilities that suggests that there are no limits--not even the sky."
    Publishers Weekly, starred review
  • "Both the lilting text and amusing watercolor and acrylic illustrations are full of energy....[A] marvelous story."
    School Library Journal
