This is a beautiful picture book which is appropriate for any age of children, adults, students or teachers The book is larger than usual which adds to the impact of the bold and vivd watercolor style illustrations actually Chinese ink on rice paper The child in the paintings is not Caucasian, but has a vaguely multi cultural appearance which may allow people to relate to him The narrator speaks of his dreams for the future, for the world, what he wants to be when he grows up This may be a grea [...]

The little boy is asked a question that all kids are asked What do you want to be when you grow up He answers the question, and then admits he doesn t know He pictures being many things healing the sick with vanilla milk shake, feeding hungry people by making large bread, and much, much These are all funny things young kids say, and many older kids want to be something that can help others.In the end, he realizes that if he wants to make a difference, he must first learn to read and write This [...]
I reserved this after reading Kate s review, and WHOA, it is big I really like the loose, gestural ink drawings As someone who is prone to perfectionism and over drawing aka over thinking , I really admire this style and how expressive it is The text and drawings both would be great discussion starters Good for older readers as well.
I enjoyed the message of this book, and the illustrations, although I agree with some earlier posts that some were a little dark I did find the book took practice, though, to read aloud Written in rhyme, some of the lines were a little awkward and I found I needed to practice them to get them to work rhythmically LOVED the ending, although it was somewhat abrupt.
Heartwarming and affirmative A beautiful book to have on the bookshelf for kids to read again and again.
Every word and every artistic piece throughout this book just melts my heart from its creativity Absolutely love it
Every parent should read this book to his or her child You will absolutely fall in love with its message
I like the idea I really like the paper and the bigness of the book, but it is a little dark except the ending which is good
This goes on the list of creepiest children s books.
if you d want a child to love to read and write, start them young with this book great imagination, beautiful illustrations and such motivations.
A boy shares what he would to to make the world a better place but first he has to learn to read and write I like the message The art is very abstract and dark A good conversation starter.
a bit deep for kids with industrial art background and heavy themes didn t care too much for it.
Awesome illustrations.
The artwork is the reason to read this book And it is a very good reason.
