Translated by Ariel Almohar.

After an exciting day playing with his friends, little turtle Sebastián cuddles up with his father and tells him what he wants to be when he grows up: firefighter, pirate, diver, etc. His father listens lovingly, then tells him that he always wanted to grow up to be a father of a son like Sebastián. In this Spanish edition of When I Grow Up, sweet illustrations match the tone of the nurturing if sentimental bedtime story.
