The Day I Grew Up by Madeline Roth, a poetic and sensitive picture book about childhood, family, and the moment when you feel ready to grow up. Ages 10 and up.
Optimized product description:
One morning, Louve wakes up with the profound feeling that it is time for her to grow up. She goes into the forest she knows by heart, and surrounded by nature, she asks herself: Who am I really? Who do I want to become?
Her thoughts turn to her family, to her deceased father, and to everything she longs to say to those she loves. At the foot of her favorite tree, she writes three letters, laying bare her doubts and releasing what is holding her back.
Written by Madeline Roth and delicately illustrated by Lucille Michieli , this poetic tale blends introspection, emotions, and a connection to nature. A powerful book that speaks to children, teenagers, and adults alike.
