A young girl wakes up with a universal question on her mind: What will I be when I grow up? Eager to make the most of her future, she spends the day imagining and then practicing many of the career paths she might one day choose to follow. From designing world-famous buildings to piloting a space shuttle to drafting a best-selling novel, this daydreaming little girl’s imagination has no limits.

Christine Hurley Deriso’s empowering picture book reminds readers of all ages that life’s possibilities are endless—if you can dream it, you can do it! Enhanced by Matthew Archambault’s exquisite oil paintings, Dreams to Grow On helps children visualize their future careers, while inspiring them to believe in their own limitless potential.

Named Outstanding Book of the Year in 2003 by the Independent Publishers, Dreams to Grow On also won the Independent Publishers’ Most Inspirational to Youth Award.
