description: A Walk in the Forest introduced the enormously talented Maria Dek and When I Am Big is a beguiling follow up to her first success. Charming illustrations and text encourage young children to explore what they can do as they grow up. The adventurous child imagines I will tie my shoes all by myself make 3 knots with big bows; to eat twenty pizzas in one sitting or walk animals eight at a time while teaching them tricks. When I Am Big is also an unconventional counting book as it goes all the way to twenty-five. The result is a book that nourishes a child's curiosity confidence and delight in the world's wonders.
