I Don’t Wanna Be A Grown-up, yet, by author Harlem Hayes, is a super-fun children's picture book about staying little, living big, and loving every minute of being a kid.

In a world where kids are growing up faster than ever, this story encourages little readers to slow down and savor the magic of being a kid. Our books celebrate girlhood, and they're perfect for children from ages 3-8. And if your little one has a love of adventure, imagination, and being their silly, carefree selves---she'll love it.
