To The Girl In The Purple Pyjamas

When you are little, people like to ask you: “What do you want to be when you grow up”. Some kids want to be a doctor, or a teacher. Others want to be a police officer or a firefighter. Maybe, you will hear the occasional vet or astronaut. I once too got that question. Maybe when I was six, and then another time when I was eight. But no matter what age I was, my answer was always the same.

“I want to be a children’s book writer.”
