這是一本充滿想像力與幽默感的繪本,由知名音樂家兼喜劇演員 Tim Minchin 與得獎插畫家 Steve Antony 攜手創作。故事靈感來自音樂劇 Matilda The Musical 中深受喜愛的歌曲〈When I Grow Up〉,並隨書附贈高品質CD,由 Tim Minchin 親自演唱。在孩子眼中,大人的生活似乎充滿自由與樂趣,每天都可以吃糖果、爬最高的樹、看卡通看到眼睛變方形,完全不用被限制。但事情真的像想像中那麼美好嗎?本書透過孩子天真又有趣的視角,描繪對「長大」的期待與幻想,同時也溫柔地帶出成長的真實模樣。幽默中帶著感動,搭配生動可愛的插畫與動人的歌曲,讓大小讀者都能從中感受到夢想、童心與成長的美好。
This hugely exciting picture book collaboration by internationally celebrated musician-comedian Tim Minchin and award-winning illustrator Steve Antony is an absolute treat for all ages. Inspired by Tim Minchin's hit song WHEN I GROW UP from MATILDA THE MUSICAL, the book takes a humorous yet moving look at adult life from a child's perspective. The book comes with a high-quality CD with WHEN I GROW UP performed by Tim Minchin. Grown-ups surely have all the fun as they must eat sweets every day, climb the biggest trees and watch cartoons till their eyes go square. But do they really...? A truly magical picture book by two incredible talents.
