"This is the first time / There's ever been you, / So I wonder what wonderful things / You will do." In this timeless poem about growing up, Emily Windfield Martin explores all the things you can choose to be, from brave and bold to creative and wise. Filled with beautiful, quirky illustrations and clever rhyme, grown-ups will love reading this book to their children at any age, as they lovingly consider all the possibilities that lie ahead. Its enduring message of love and acceptance as children grow and change is both universal and poignant, and it one to share over and over again.

A very pretty and sentimental book about parents ultimately not having control over the specifics of who their child grows up to be, but instead having the choice of whether to continue loving them regardless.
