Ellie Mae Dreams Big!

By Kristina McMorris & Amanda Yoshida
Ellie Mae Dreams Big! by Kristina McMorris & Amanda Yoshida digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The sister duo of New York Times best-selling novelist Kristina McMorris and award-winning artist Amanda Yoshida makes their collaborative debut with a delightful story of a girl whose big dreams are far from ordinary.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

At the teacher's all-important question, Ellie Mae's mind swirls with ideas. An astronaut or a chef? Better yet, why not an astronaut-chef? Since the moon is made of cheese, her galactic grilled-cheese sandwiches could be known throughout the universe! Or . . . she could be a 'ballerina-painter,' creating masterpieces while leaping across the stage.

In the end, there are so many options, Ellie Mae fears she can't possibly pick—until the answer dawns on her. What she chooses will surprise her classmates as much as the reader!

“Ellie Mae’s imagination runs wild when she’s asked what she wants to be when she grows up. There are so many options, she finds she can’t pick just one. I read this book with my nine-year-old niece who often has a different response for what she wants to be every time she’s asked. We both really liked the book as well as the graphics. Thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Kids for allowing me to read an ARC of this book. #NetGalley #EllieMaeDreamsBig”
