My child, my little one, 

Who will you be when you are grown? 

There's loving kindness in your eyes, like your daddy's

and boldness in your heart, like your grandma's.

Will you be like them? 

So begins this loving picture book. Featuring a mama who wonders who her child will grow up to be and the beloved people she hopes they will be like. 

Moving from family members to the wider community, she muses about which attributes her child will possess. Will her little one be curious like Grandpa and adventurous like Auntie Amina? 

This makes a perfect gift for a baby shower or first birthday.

Through gorgeous artwork and gentle words author Andrea Pippins celebrates childhood in an ode to the power of our village--and a reminder that every child is uniquely wonderful.
