I Don’t Wanna Be A Grown-up, yet, is a love letter to childhood — following a spunky 5-year-old NYC girl who’s not ready to trade in hopscotch for high heels, just yet. In a world where kids are growing up faster than ever, this story encourages little readers to slow down and savor the magic of being a kid — especially through the lens of little-girl joy and NYC childhood nostalgia.
