When you grow up, what do you want to be?

A pirate ruling the seven seas? A tennis champion, or maybe a baker whose gingerbread men become world-famous?

In When I Grow Up, Lisa Webster takes readers on a poetic journey through the wild and wonderful dreams of childhood. From astronauts and farmers to rockstars and kind-hearted teachers, each page bursts with creativity, humour, and heart.

But the biggest dream of all? To be unapologetically, joyfully YOU.

This playful and empowering book is a celebration of big dreams, bold ideas, and the beautiful possibilities of growing up…whoever you decide to be. Perfect for bedtime giggles, classroom inspiration, or anytime you need a reminder that being yourself is the greatest adventure of all.

Lisa Webster grew up in Durban, South Africa. An outdoorsy child, she loved playing sports and being in nature. Lisa always had a story or a poem in her head from a young age. During her teaching years, she wrote fun and interactive poems for the National Eisteddfods, which were performed by her pupils and got fantastic results.

During her 25 years of teaching, she would encourage the children in her classes to follow their dreams so they could experience joy every day. She has now decided to follow her own advice and do what she loves doing…and that is writing.
