REVIEWS:
WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE is a delightfully encouraging book for young people that conveys how their passion and drive in life might come from somewhere unexpected and may show up at an early age. Boegler has done well to inspire young folks to pursue jobs they enjoy so much that they don’t feel like work.
An upbeat story about chasing your passion, Nancy Boegler’s WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE will encourage children not to give up on what makes them happy.

I am so impressed with the message to kids in this exciting adventure through Mia's childhood adventures. I love how passionate Mia is about following her dream. I also LOVE how the power of the stylists comes through and how they transform people from the inside out.
