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!

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

Minchin transforms three of his most adored speeches—including his viral “9 Life Lessons” speech—into a captivating book designed to inspire, amuse, and create a sense of wonder.
In the same vein as The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse and The Tao of Pooh, this book is a delightful, delicately woven tapestry of life’s simplicities and complexities, all captured through Minchin’s unique humor and tenderness. He shares his guiding life principles such as:
-Be hard on your opinions

-Be a teacher
-Exercise!
-And so much more
