In this charming tale, young Lily asks her grandmother what she plans to be when she grows up, operating under the sweet childhood assumption that being an adult is a temporary state before one chooses a final destiny.

It is a perfect choice for kids aged 3 to 7 who enjoy role-playing and asking big questions about the world.
