 A child wonders what she will be when she grows up, so she asks her abuela. Abuela has been so many things, she's the perfect person to ask. Abuela tells her to ask herself. Magically she sees herself as so many marvelous things. A builder, an explorer, a healer, a writer - anything she wants, and everything. 

 Such a positive book about life choices! I really loved the message, and, oh - Abuela! I want to be her when I grow up!! Kate Alizadeh illustrations are colorful and so much fun - I love the faces and the movement in - the picture where Abuela is about to touch the girl's nose with a paintbrush is so sweet! A great picture book for the first day of school.
