“When I Am Big is a charming sequel to Maria Dek’s debut hit, A Walk in the Forest, which showcased her immense talent. Young children are inspired to learn more about their potential as adults by the charming images and language in this book. The daring youngster plans to eat twenty pizzas at once, tie his shoes by himself, tie three knots with large bows, and stroll eight animals at once while teaching them tricks. Since it runs all the way to 25, When I Am Big is also an unusual counting book. The outcome is a book that fosters a child’s curiosity, confidence, and delight in the world’s wonders. \s”
