“Readers will finish the story envisioning all the possibilities that may await them. A beautifully illustrated poem that will be cherished.”—School Library Journal (starred review)
Have you ever imagined what you might be when you grow up? When he was very young, Juan Felipe Herrera picked chamomile flowers in windy fields, slept outside, and learned to say goodbye to his amiguitos each time his family moved to a new town. He went to school and taught himself to read and write English and filled paper with rivers of ink as he walked down the street after school. And when he grew up, he became the United States Poet Laureate and read his poems aloud on the steps of the Library of Congress. If he could do that . . . what could you do? With this illustrated poem of endless possibility, Juan Felipe Herrera and Caldecott Honoree Lauren Castillo breathe magic into the hopes and dreams of readers searching for their place in life.
