What will YOU be when you grow up? Leonid Gore's imaginative text and art offer an original response to a universal question. "What will I be when I grow up?" asks a little boy. The world around him supplies inspiring answers: A raindrop grows up to be a fast-running river. A green shoot grows up to be a tall and mighty tree. A shadow grows up to be a gentle night full of dreams. In the end, the boy's greatest inspiration comes from the simplest of sources: his father's love.
