Andreas mother keeps telling
her all the wonderful things she could be and do when she grows up and
Andrea imagines herself in many different careers. She joins clubs and
studies ballet, tennis, magic... and bugs. But one day Andrea decides
that most of all she wants to simply be herself.

book for ages 5-8, Anything You Want to Be delivers an important
message through humour and fun.
