Bookroo's summary
A little girl treasures the simple joys of being young, like going barefoot and watching rain. Her mother asks about growing up, but she knows there's time for that later. What childhood wonders will she discover next?
From the publisher
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” a mother asks her little girl. “I just want to be little right now, “ the girl replies. Being little, she knows, means being able to do things grown-ups don’t do. It means going barefoot in summertime, eating snow when it first falls, dressing up on Halloween, or just spending a dreamy afternoon watching the rain run down a windowpane. The little girl knows there will be plenty of time to be a grown-up…someday.
