Las Musas Books would like to extend the happiest book birthday wishes to What Will You Be?, written by Las Musas Madrina, Yamile Saied Méndez, and illustrated by Kate Alizadeh. 

The cover is as beautiful as the message and lyrical text inside.

What will you be when you grow up?

A young girl dreams about all the endless possibilities, sparking a sense of wonder, curiosity, and growth. With her abuela’s loving guidance, she learns her potential is limitless. 

Yamile Saied Méndez’s powerful, lyrical text and Kate Alizadeh’s colorful, stunning art are a radiant celebration of family, love, and community.

A Spanish-language edition, ¿Qué Serás?, is also available.

“Méndez and Alizadeh create a balance between the abstract and concrete by letting the child imagine the future but with Abuela’s guidance and support. A sweet read to share with loved ones.” -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
