Join a little girl's adventures in the big adult world, into which she is thrown after one sip of her mother's magical drink, her morning coffee! For impatient kids who cannot wait to grow up, here's an enjoyable accessible story that says: be careful what you wish for! Written by author and linguist Carla Farah, Why Can't I Drink Coffee?' pushes the little ones to responsively examine up close what it is like to grow up before their time. , , Farah found inspiration for this story in her three little girls with big dreams who make her believe in the magic of childhood, and whose endless curiosity and unmatched enthusiasm motivate her to offer kids an empathetic and safe space to dream and grow, in between the covers of an imaginative story. The illustrator Nesibe Celebi accentuates this dreamlike world by alternating reality and fantasy, night and day, girlhood and womanhood, in the rich depth of a cup of fuming black coffee by the window.
