Illustrated by
Emma Chichester Clark.
This sentimental story has Lily asking her grandma what she will be when she grows up. "A lot of people think I've grown up already," Grandma replies, but Lily proceeds to suggest variously Lily-pleasing vocations (face painter, lollipop maker, magic fairy); Grandma's eventual decision is predictable but endearing. Pastel-hued watercolor and pencil illustrations feature a youthful, lively grandmother playing out the roles.
