When I Grow Up
In the classroom, teachers oftne ask children what do they want to do when they grow up. The children’s answers are varied and we’ve seen many books on similar topics.
However, the author promises that the answers offered by the book's main character will surprise us all! From butterfly catcher, airplane folding designer, panda nursery director, to umbrella museum guide, professions beyond our imagination are brought to life one after another.
Perhaps the most important thing isn't to follow a routine path, but to maintain our imagination and dream big.
