Description

The sister duo of New York Times best-selling novelist Kristina McMorris and award-winning artist Amanda Yoshida makes their collaborative debut with a delightful story of a girl whose big dreams are far from ordinary.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

At the teacher's all-important question, Ellie Mae's mind swirls with ideas. An astronaut or a chef? Better yet, why not an astronaut-chef? Since the moon is made of cheese, her galactic grilled-cheese sandwiches could be known throughout the universe! Or . . . she could be a 'ballerina-painter, ' creating masterpieces while leaping across the stage.

In the end, there are so many options, Ellie Mae fears she can't possibly pick--until the answer dawns on her. What she chooses will surprise her classmates as much as the reader!

Critical Reviews

"Children will enjoy the idea that their future needn't be limited to only one career but that they can take what they enjoy doing and fuse those options into an amazing future." -- Booklist

"Funny and imaginative Ellie Mae teaches readers to dream big and believe they can become anything. Ellie Mae is spontaneous and quirky, with lots of emotions and creativity, brought to life by vivid, candy-colored illustrations. Fun and silly--but sure to inspire kids to dream big." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Encourages boundary-defying self-exploration... which should inspire a similar creative spirit in readers." -- Publishers Weekly
