Nora imagines everything there is to be one day: a vet, a chef, an astronaut, a teacher, a scientist, a firefighter or a doctor. It’s the full story from our book “When I Grow Up”, for children aged 2 and up, with an ending that works for any path. It takes about 3 minutes to read.
One day you will grow up, Nora. Little by little, the world around you will feel bigger, and you’ll see it’s full of paths to explore, dreams to imagine and endless possibilities waiting just for you.
And when that day comes, you will get to choose the path you want to take.
You might become a vet, caring for animals big and small, listening to their hearts and helping them feel healthy and strong.

Or maybe you’ll travel beyond the Moon, drifting among the stars, waving to the Earth as you explore the universe.
Nora, you might paint colors the world has never seen, turning blank spaces into art and every day into a masterpiece.
You could also be a teacher, filling a classroom with stories, songs and smiles, helping others discover their own light.

Or perhaps you will fly very high, across mountains, oceans and distant lands, helping the dreams of travelers find their way around the world.
Nora, you might fill the world with songs, making hearts dance and turning silence into magic.
Maybe you will be a scientist, mixing ingredients with curiosity in your test tubes as you search for answers that make the world a better place.

But maybe, Nora, you won’t be just one thing. Maybe you’ll be everything you dream of being.
Whatever you become, Nora, one thing will never change.
You will always be loved, not for what you do, but simply for being Nora.
