Emma Wants to be a Grown- Up Maria Alony

One morning, Emma decided she simply did not want to be a kid anymore.
She didn't want an early bedtime or have to sit in the back seat of the car, or be interrupted for dinner while playing hide-and-seek with her friends, or be told that unless she ate her vegetables, she would never grow up.

But what happens when Emma starts to be a grownup and do grownup things?
