Bookroo's summary

Stella can't wait to grow up, imagining the fun and freedom of being older with her friend Roger. As they dream of skipping straight to eight, they envy their neighbor Eva's grown-up life. But as Stella considers the responsibilities like eating vegetables and getting a job, she wonders if being six isn't so bad after all. Will Stella's dreams of adulthood live up to her expectations, or will she find joy in the present? Join Stella on her whimsical journey of imagination and discovery.

From the publisher

In this third effervescent book in the Stella picture book series, Stella and Roger imagine all the incredible grown-up things they can do when they’re older! Stella can’t wait to turn seven! She and her best friend, Roger, agree seven-year-olds get to have much more fun. But the more grown-up you are, the more you can do, so maybe Stella will skip seven altogether and go straight to eight years old! Anything’s better than being six. Being seven or eight is being practically a grown-up, like Stella’s neighbor Eva. Eva does all kinds of thing Stella can’t yet–real grown-up things like eating vegetables…getting a job… Maybe Stella didn’t think this all the way through.
