Welcome to Litsy!

Annie�s joyful exuberance and her family�s whole-hearted support leave no doubt that her dream is within her grasp. This delightful story�with backmatter about women astronauts�encourages young readers to pursue their dreams and reach for the stars. Career Day is approaching, and Annie can�t wait to show her family what she�s planning to be when she grows up. But, she must keep it a secret until Friday! So curious family members each ask Annie for a clue. Convinced that she�ll be a news reporter like he once was, Grandpop gives her his old camera and notebook to use for her presentation. Grandma is sure Annie wants to be a champion baker like her, so she offers a mixing bowl and oven mitts to Annie. Hopeful she'll become the mountain climber he aspired to be, Dad gives Annie an old backpack. Mom presents Annie with a pair of high-top sneakers to pursue Mom's favorite sport in high school -- basketball. Grateful for each gift, Annie cleverly finds a way to use them all to create her Career Day costume. When the big day arrives, Annie finally reveals her out-of-this-world dream to everyone.
