At his drawing table on a rainy day, a boy imagines all the ways in which different things might grow up, and comes to the conclusion that he will grow up to be just like his dad. On die-cut pages.
Comparing a rain drop that becomes a river and a small green plant that grows into a massive tree, a little boy and his father contemplate all the many wonderful things he may become in the future in this imaginative tale for preschoolers, enhanced with die-cut illustrations.
"What will I be when I grow up?" asks a little boy. The world around him supplies inspiring answers: A raindrop grows up to be a fast-running river. A green shoot grows up to be a tall and mighty tree. A shadow grows up to be a gentle night full of dreams.
In the end, the boy's greatest inspiration comes from the simplest of sources: his father's love.
