I'm Actually Really Grown-Up Now - Thryft

Warm, witty exploration of childhood's grown-up aspirations.

If you ever felt impatient to be an adult, you'll see a bit of yourself in Meena. Her adventures strike a cord not just with kids longing for grown-up privileges but also adults reminiscing about childhood naivety. This book, with its charming and inclusive illustrations, casts a tender yet humorous light on the trials and tribulations of growing up. It's a delightful story that will make you smile and perhaps appreciate the simplicities of being a child once more.

Description

Perfect for fans of Shirley Hughes, I'm Actually Really Grown-Up Now is a warm and funny story from the creator of Anna and Otis. Inclusive illustrations are bright, busy, and drawn with charming naivety. Praise for Anna and Otis – The Sunday Times. The grown-ups are having a party, and Meena would really love to join in but instead she's sent to bed. Only grown-ups get to stay up late. So the next day she makes a very important announcement to her "I'm actually really grown-up now!" In this very funny story, we join Meena as she plans her very own grown-up party and explores what it REALLY means to be a grown-up. She has a lot of fun experimenting with fashion, going to work, and party planning, but she soon finds out that being grown-up might not always be as easy as it seems. I'm Actually Really Grown-Up Now by Maisie Shearring is the follow-up to the wonderful Anna and Otis. Maisie has a special talent for capturing the bittersweet highs and lows of childhood and the humor to be found in everyday situations.
