What a darling way to daydream! One day Lily returns home from school feeling confused and perplexed. Her dilemma is that she just cannot decide what she wants to be when she grows up. Some of her dreams are quite ordinary little girl's dreams like wishing to be a princess or a mermaid. Others are of loftier ambitions like being a famous mayor, lawyer or doctor. Lily's mother gives her some sage advice: for the time being, just enjoy being yourself.The author is a fifteen year old teen who has already decided on a career in education. She uses her childhood musings as the basis of this book reflecting on every little girl's aspirations. The story is written in verse. Most of these are very clever, though I do believe the two line verses work better. Pictures are big, bright and appropriate for the text in the story line. Looking forward to reading more from a talented young author.
