Synopsis

TWO STARRED REVIEWS! • From one of Raffi’s original fans, Jon Klassen, comes an exploration of one of life’s big questions in this witty picture book adaptation of a beloved song by the iconic musician.

I wonder if I’m growing
My mom says yes I’m growing
but it’s hard for me to see

When you're growing up, it can be hard to tell if you’re really growing. You wonder if you're growing when you wake up in the morning. You wonder when you look in the bathroom mirror. You wonder when you eat your sandwich. You wonder . . . and you wonder . . . until one day — HEY! you can finally reach the tap now, for the very first time today.

A song on Raffi’s first album, illustrated for the first time by the incomparable Jon Klassen, “I Wonder If I’m Growing” celebrates one of the little milestones and simple joys of growing up from a kid’s perspective. Whether you’re growing up or all grown up, whether the song is new or deeply familiar, whether you’re reading it or singing it, this timeless picture book by two of the most celebrated artists for children in the world today is guaranteed to make you smile.
