Description
Dive into a whimsical underwater adventure with I want to be a human when I grow up; a charming tale of two curious goldfish pondering the age-old question: what do we want to be when we grow up? Told through playful rhymes and paired with stunning watercolour, pen, and wash illustrations, this delightful book invites young readers to explore a world of endless possibilities.
From Dinosaur discoverers to Daring firefighters, the goldfish imagine every job under the sun (and waves!) with a humorous twist that will have children giggling and dreaming along. But as the goldfish explore their options, they realise that the answer to their big question is simpler and more profound than they expected: the best thing to be is... themselves!

Whether you're looking for a gift, a classroom favourite, or a cozy read-aloud, I want to be a human when I grow up is a heart-warming addition to any child's library. Prepare to laugh, dream, and fall in love with the magic of just being you.
