The New York Times best-selling novelist Kristina McMorris makes her picture book debut with the winning story of a girl tackling the all-important question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Ellie Mae loves everything about school, except when her teacher asks the big question. "What do you want to be when you grow up? Tomorrow, come dressed as what you've chosen."
Ellie Mae is overflowing with ideas. She could be a chef, but that doesn't seem very exciting. What if she became the first 'astronaut-chef' and cooked in outer space? Or she could be a 'ballerina-painter' and create beautiful art as she dances across the stage.
In the end, Ellie Mae arrives at school dressed as the one and only astronaut-chef, candy-farmer, pirate-dentist, zookeeper-teacher, ballerina-painter in the world!
