Who Will U Be?

By Emanuel Berger | May 26 2023 | Children'sBlog

 

From New York Times bestselling creator of Tomorrow I’ll Be Brave comes a delightful picture book following an inquisitive little letter “u” as she goes on a class field trip to find out all the ways letters are seen and used in the world.

It’s the annual “Find Yourself Field Trip” at Ms. Bracket’s School of Little Letters, and “u” couldn’t be more excited. She can’t wait to see all the ways letters are used in the world—they’re on everything from books to boats, from sidewalks to spaceships! And it’s starting to make her wonder one important question: Who will she be when she grows up?

With clever storytelling and vibrant, powerful illustrations, bestselling author-illustrator Jessica Hische has created an enchanting picture book that is not only an accessible introduction to typography for kids, but also a wonderful reminder to embrace one’s individuality and curiosity as they grow older.

This story is perfect for fans of Emily Winfield Martin, and it makes an excellent gift book for big moments like graduation and birthdays with its empowering question to little ones—who will you be?
