When I Grow Up
by Margaret Wang, Tina Louise, Oliver Corwin, Tim Minchin, Julie Chen, Marcy Brown, Dennis Haley, Marci Brown
A Gilligans Island legend and volunteer reading tutor relays to kids that they can be anything they want to be, in this brightly illustrated celebration of careers and the natural world.
This inspiring book from actress Tina Louise brings nature and the animal kingdom together to invigorate children to reach for the stars in anything they do. Louise cleverly compares the role of an animal or insect side by side to what a child can grow up to be. Fireflies glow in the dark; an aspiring actress can shine on the silver screen. Spiders spin elaborate webs; an aspiring architect can create a skyscraper. Children will think of their own talents as they read along and be inspired to excel. When I Grow Up shows that amazing things are happening all the timeand that young readers can grow up to be amazing, too!
A Gilligans Island icon sets sail with her first-ever childrens book
Teaching children the skill of reading and a love for the written word is important because this will remain with them throughout their lives. If we can reach children at an early age, I believe it will make a difference. This thought brings me tremendous joy.Tina Louise
