A young girl makes her way through a variety of career possibilitiesdancer, doctor, superhero, plumberin a variety of costumes. She can be graceful, creative, brave, caring, silly, and even scary. She can wear braids or glasses, a crown or a beret. No matter what she chooses, her puppy is twirling, painting, and hammering right beside her, often with an accessory of his own. The story is simple and yet suggests infinite, limitless opportunities and the little girl's right to choose who and what she wants to be. The message is one of exploration, choice, and selfexpression. And ultimately another option for the little girl is to be "just me."
