What’s the best way to encourage 
children to dream BIG?  Introduce 
them to people who did just that 
and actually realized their 
dreams.  

That’s exactly what D. L. 
Withers, author of When I Grow 
Up, decided to do!

When I Grow Up is a beautifully 
illustrated, sassy, rhyming, 
picture book that inspires 
children to live their dreams by 
looking at the past 
accomplishments of many great 
African American pioneers like 
Phyllis Wheatley, Bill Pickett, 
and Daniel Hale Williams. 

When I Grow Up incorporates fun 
history lessons while providing 
children with the courage and 
strength needed to make their 
dreams a reality.

With joyful illustrations by 
Grethel Peralta, the book is a 
great gift that all children will 
treasure.
