Publisher's Synopsis

 

Inspired by Tim Minchin's hit song When I Grow Up from Matilda the Musical, this hilarious book shows what children think growing up is all about. 

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...?

This hugely exciting picture book collaboration by internationally-celebrated musician and comedian Tim Minchin and award-winning illustrator Steve Antony is an absolute treat for all ages.

Tim Minchin's hit song When I Grow Up from Matilda the Musical paired with Steve Antony's text takes a humorous yet moving look at adult life from a child's perspective.
