"[A] picture book full of fantastical watercolor illustrations that’s designed to get 3- to 7-year-olds totting up their numbers."

- New York Journal of Books,


"A companion to Dek’s When I Am Big (2018), this playful picture book focuses on older children, kids who are revving their imaginations and developing zany plans for their future….Delightful renderings of offbeat notions and quantities."
