Lola Dutch: When I Grow Up

Description

Lola Dutch is always bursting with creative ideas - and she has so many exciting plans about what she'll be when she grows up! She could be a magnificent performer, or a daring inventor, or a brilliant botanist! Or maybe an astronaut, a pastry chef or an Egyptologist. Lola wants to try everything! How will she ever decide what she is supposed to be? Luckily, she has the help of her animal friends and her own brilliant imagination. Maybe Lola won't have to wait until she grows up to explore the world's excitements. Inspired by their own children, Sarah Jane and Kenneth Wright are thrilled to continue this fun series about the unstoppable, larger-than-life Lola Dutch, perfect for fans of Eloise and Olivia.

Kenneth and Sarah Jane Wright live in Utah, US, with their four children. This is their second children's book collaboration, following the bestselling Lola Dutch: Is a Little Bit Much. Kenneth is a former professional dancer and full-time teacher. Sarah Jane has illustrated Eileen Beha's The Secrets of Eastcliff-by-the-Sea, Laura Godwin's A Christmas Goodnight and Meg Fleming's I Heart You. In 2008, Sarah Jane opened an Etsy shop that has exploded into a business with art prints, fabrics, books, wallpaper, puppets and illustrated children's books.
