A Touching Story for Children of all Ages

Have you ever read a children's book, and wondered, "Wow, I wish that I would have read this when I was a child?" That is exactly how I felt after reading "I Want to Be." The book had a similar impact on my students. My first grade class asks me to read this book all of the time! "I Want to Be" has inspired the students to write about "what they want to be." This book does a wonderful job of allowing children to express their creativity, yet very realistically. This is a fascinating story with beautiful illustrations. The narrator, a young child, states, "I want to be pretty, but not so pretty...." and, "I want to be tall, but not too tall..." Children love reading books that can relate directly to their lives and dreams.
