I bought this for my niece. It is an inspirational story about being whoever you want to be when you grow up. It is well illustrated by Valerie McCarney and kids just love this book!

But I am not sure of the age though, I have never read it, only the news articles about it..However it might make a good keepsake.

It always comes out at Christmastime at my house and though my kids are teenagers now, we still enjoy flipping through it. This 1995 title is out of print now but you can find copies readily at used bookstores and on the Internet.

I would also recommend any of the children’s books written by Jennifer Armstrong, of Saratoga Springs. She has written picture books for younger kids, like “Hugh Can Do”, “Pierre’s Dream” and “Chin Yu Min and the Ginger Cat”, as well as many novels and non-fiction titles for young adults. Joseph Bruchac of Greenfield is another local author who has written many great books with native American themes for children and I would recommend a browse through your local library to see the range of books that Bruchac and Armstrong have written before ordering some from your favorite bookseller.

But there is no local connection, sadly!

I would recommend calling the Book Barn in Stuyvestant Plaza or one of the local Children’s Museums for other alternatives.
