  • When I Grow Up

    Tina Louise, Oliver Corwin

    Hardcover (Harry N. Abrams, March 1, 2007)
    A Gilligan’s Island legend and volunteer reading tutor relays to kids that they can be anything they want to be, in this brightly illustrated celebration of careers and the natural world.This inspiring book from actress Tina Louise brings nature and the animal kingdom together to invigorate children to reach for the stars in anything they do. Louise cleverly compares the role of an animal or insect side by side to what a child can grow up to be. Fireflies glow in the dark; an aspiring actress can shine on the silver screen. Spiders spin elaborate webs; an aspiring architect can create a skyscraper. Children will think of their own talents as they read along and be inspired to excel. When I Grow Up shows that amazing things are happening all the time—and that young readers can grow up to be amazing, too! A Gilligan’s Island icon sets sail with her first-ever children’s book “Teaching children the skill of reading and a love for the written word is important because this will remain with them throughout their lives. If we can reach children at an early age, I believe it will make a difference. This thought brings me tremendous joy.”—Tina LouisePortion of proceeds from this book donated to promote literacy.

  • When I Grow Up

    Michali Mazor

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Sept. 13, 2013)
    -- When I Grow Up What Will I Be? Is something many kids think about.-- Michali Mazor, the 15-year-old author of "When I Grow Up", shares her own musings of childhood as she describes in adorable rhymes and lovely illustrations the many professions (and adventures) she contemplated. “What I Want to Be When I Grow Up” inspires kids to embrace possibilities and anticipate the future with a positive ‘Yes I Can’ attitude. But while Michali encourages kids to dream about the future and think of the many options available to them she also reminds them to celebrate who they are today. It is important to encourage children to dream and have ambitions. As well, it is wonderful to inspire children's imagination. But never should kids (or their parents) forget to enjoy and appreciate what and who they are right now!
