When I Grow Up. This item is unavailable.When I Grow Up

As a child, we all had ideas of what we wanted to do when we got older- some of us wanted more realistic jobs, like firefighters, ballerinas, or doctors, and some of us were more insistent on unrealistic goals, like becoming princesses or dragons. However, we eventually got older, and we’ve chosen the paths that our parents, friends, and mentors encouraged. This book encourages children to follow their dreams, no matter how impossible or crazy they seem and it starts with a bear named Baxter wanting to become an owl.
