I want to be

Have you ever

Wanted to

Be something

That’s not you?

A shoe or two?

A white igloo?

A didgeridoo?

A brown cow’s moo?

If you have,

then read this.

If not,

you really need this.

Letters and words take the form of the images they describe in this zany book, guiding the reader through a fluid visual space where the words become puzzles. Written by Anushka Ravishankar, and illustrated by Rathna Ramanathan, I Want to Be brings together joyful nonsense verse and brilliant typography to play with meaning, reflecting a child’s delight in the overturning of logic.
