A whimsically illustrated counting book that nourishes a child's curiosity, confidence, and delight in the world through numbers.

What will you do when you are big? How many scoops of ice cream will you eat? How many puddles will you jump over? And what time will you go to bed?
 
Charming illustrations accompanying the text in When I Am Big to encourage young children to explore and quantify all the fun and adventurous things they can do as they grow up. Through first-person narration, readers will follow along to declare things like "I will tie my shoes all by myself, and make 3 knots with big bows.”, “I will jump over 9 puddles, all of them at once!”, or “I will build a roller coaster that has 17 cars."
 
When I Am Big is a counting picture book from numbers 1 through 25. When your reader has mastered that, look for When I Am Bigger, the companion counting book from Maria Dek, to count even greater numbers and reach more imaginative heights, with numbers 10 through 100.

Young Caroline Pickersgill lives with her mother and grandmother in Baltimore, Maryland. Mrs. Pickersgill, a widow, supports herself and her daughter by making flags for the ships that sail into the city. Some soldiers from Fort McHenry come to her to order the biggest and best flag in the world, and Caroline helps make it. When the British sail up the Chesapeake Bay to destroy Baltimore during the War of 1812, the defenders at the fort beat them back. After the British sail away the next day, the flag “gallantly streaming” over the fort is the one Caroline and her mother had sewn. By “the dawn’s early light,” Francis Scott Key saw it waving “o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” Here is a charming (and true) children’s story about a young girl who, in helping her widowed mother, became a part of our nation’s history.
