A Children’s Book with A TWERKING Theme? Yes.
But really, no. #StayLittlePlayBig
New York, NY – 4/11/2025 – In a world where kids are growing up faster than ever, debut author Harlem Hayes delivers a refreshing and much-needed message with her first children’s picture book, I Don't Wanna Be A Grown-up, Yet. Launching on May 9, 2025, this delightful story reminds little girls—and the adults who love them—that childhood is meant to be cherished.
Written with humor, heart, and a touch of sass, I Don't Wanna Be A Grown-up. Yet. follows a spirited 5-year-old girl in New York City who loves her life just as it is. Through playful storytelling and vibrant illustrations, the book encourages young readers to embrace their childhood, resist the pressures to grow up too soon, and revel in the magic of being little.
“I want parents, teachers, caregivers, and gift-givers to put this book into the cute, tiny hands of little girls everywhere,” says Hayes. “The world is in such a hurry to make kids mini-adults, but this book is a celebration of self-love, innocence, and the pure joy of being young.”
