When you grow up, what will you be? 

What an engineer! Have you ever thought about being a space princess when you grow up? What if, instead of being a dentist, you became a vampire so you could stay up all night? In the book ’And when you grow up? What will you be?’, there are children who prefer to be ballerinas and judokas rather than architects; others who dream of being superheroes rather than doctors and journalists like their parents. There are even pirates, treasure hunters, and aquanauts. Have you ever thought about what you’re going to be when you grow up? In this book, you’ll find lots of great suggestions!
YOU’D LIKE TO KNOW THAT… Reading the book is a tool for integrating children with the adults in the family, inviting parents and grandparents to share their experiences with the child in a relaxed conversation about the professions of yesterday, today, and the future.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT… This book is friendly to readers with dyslexia, as the font used is Open Dyslexic, making reading more enjoyable for everyone. The text is in capital letters, which also helps readers who are in the process of becoming literate.
WHY READ IT? This is a picture book that takes a humorous approach to the subject of professions and promotes interaction between children and adults, encouraging family reading.
THEMES: fiction, illustrated book, profession, family, social interaction, citizenship, family reading.
