I LIKE TO BE LITTLE

Thea Lu (Beijing Everafter Culture Development Co., Ltd, China) | 40pp | 19.4 x 25.4 cm

When a little girl’s mother asks her, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, the girl insists she wants to stay little, describing the unique joys of childhood that grown-ups usually no longer enjoy: skipping when she’s glad, playing house, going barefoot in the summer, jumping into piles of leaves, tasting the first snow, and watching raindrops slide down the windowpane. This tender and timeless story, written by Charlotte Zolotow and newly illustrated by Thea Lu- winner of the 2024 New York Times Top 10 Best Illustrated Children’s Books Award- celebrates the magic of childhood and the beauty of living in the moment.
