The US edition of When I Grow Up, the new magical picture book inspired by Tim’s hit song from the acclaimed and multi-award-winning Matilda the Musical is out today! It imagines life from a child’s viewpoint, with all the humour and poignancy of the song.

The book is illustrated by Steve Antony, an internationally published, award-winning author and illustrator of many picture books, including the Mr Panda series.

Published by Scholastic Press US, it’s available from all good booksellers, including:

Amazon US
Barnes & Noble
Books-A-Million
IndieBound
Target

Or on Kindle.

You can take a peek inside and find details about the already published UK edition here and the Australian edition here. Each cover, for the three editions, is slightly different but infused with the same playful energy and imagination for which When I Grow Up is so beloved.

Tim the Baker

Tim’s episode of The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer will air this Tuesday, 20th March, at 8pm on Channel 4*. His fellow bakers are Ruth Davidson, Jamie Laing and Ella Eyre.

Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood will be judging, with Bake Off hosts Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig on hand at all times to oversee things.
