The litlte girl in the book wants to be different things depending on the situation at hand....when others are sad she wants to be a clown to make them happy; when they are sick she wants to be a doctor to make them better. By the end of the book she's proud of things she can actually do and decides it's best to be herself.
3-5 group or individual.
