Perfect for fans of Shirley Hughes, I'm Actually Really Grown-Up now is a warm and funny story from the creator of Anna and Otis .
"Inclusive illustrations are bright, busy and drawn with charming naivety"
Praise for Anna and Otis - The Sunday Times
The grown-ups are having a party, and Meena would really love to join in but instead she's sent to bed. Only grown-ups get to stay up late. So the next day she makes a very important announcement to her parents: "I'm actually really grown-up now!"
In this very funny story we join Meena as she plans her very own grown-up party and explores what it REALLY means to be a grown up. She has a lot of fun experimenting with fashion, going to work and party planning, but she soon finds out that being grown-up might not always be as easy as it seems.
I'm Actually Really Grown-Up Now by Maisie Shearring is the follow-up to the wonderful Anna and Otis . Maisie has a special talent for capturing the bittersweet highs and lows of childhood and the humour to be found in everyday situations.
