Synopsis
What if growing up wasn’t about becoming something…but becoming you? In this sweet and imaginative story, a little boy wonders about all the different ways a person can grow on the inside. He learns about kindness, courage, honesty, and other virtues, discovering what each one means. With gentle guidance from his parents, he begins to understand that no one else gets to decide who he is. His character is something he knows in his own heart, and it’s up to him how he chooses to show it. Filled with soft rhymes and vibrant art, ‘When I grow up, who will I be?’ is a warm celebration of character and the magic of learning who you are on the inside.
