A timeless celebration of all the wonderful things children have in store.

\"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 Winfield 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 read-aloud 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 is one to share over and over again.

About the author

Emily Winfield Martin

Emily Winfield Martin is a collector and lover of fairy tales, and the original Grimm’s tale of Snow White and Rose Red enchanted and haunted her all her life. She is a painter of real and imaginary things, and the author and illustrator of such books as Dream Animals and The Wonderful Things You Will Be. Emily lives among the giant trees of Portland, Oregon, and if you need her, you might look in the heart of the woods.
