Why can't I drink coffee?

"I wish I could grow up faster!" is a phrase often repeated by children eager to enter the "adult world," to dress like them, share their conversations, and taste their coffee. But this is exactly what happened to our protagonist...
After a cup of coffee, she found herself in a world where amusement park rides and princess dresses no longer fit her! One adventure was enough to make her realize the beauty of childhood.

• Enjoying Childhood Join the adventures of a little girl in the big world of adults, into which she is thrown after a single sip of her mother's magic potion... morning coffee!
Impatient children who can't wait to grow up, here's a fun, accessible story that says: Be careful what you wish for!
By writer and linguist Carla Farhat, "Why can't I drink coffee?" encourages young ones to closely examine what it means to grow up before their time. Farhat drew inspiration for this story from her three young daughters with big dreams, who made her believe in the magic of childhood, and their endless curiosity and unparalleled enthusiasm drive her to give children an empathetic and safe space to dream and grow, within the pages of a fictional story. Illustrator Nasiba Jalabi highlights this dreamlike world by blending reality with fantasy, night with day, childhood with femininity, all within the depths of a warm, dark coffee cup by the window.
