About this title

Synopsis

Comedian, singer/songwriter, five-time Grammy winner and beloved cultural icon "Weird Al" Yankovic presents the adventure of Billy, the irrepressible star of the New York Times bestselling When I Grow Up, in an uproarious back-to-school delight. Dazzling wordplay and sparkling rhyme combine in this unique appreciation of the rewards of unabashed originality and the special joy of viewing the world gently askew.

I’ll bet every great thinker

and leader we’ve got

Could see all kinds of things

other people could not!

Billy is a small boy with a big imagination.

Mr. Booth is a serious teacher with a strict lesson plan.

When the irresistible force of Billy’s unrestrained creativity meets the immovable object of Mr. Booth’s fixed worldview, one thing is obvious: someone is going to learn a lot this school year!

About the Authors

Known for more than thirty years as America's premier satirist of popular music and culture, "Weird Al" Yankovic has had almost as many careers as Billy can dream of. Advised by his father to do whatever made him happy, he has accordingly been a comedian, singer/songwriter, music producer, actor, director, and writer—often all at the same time. Mr. Yankovic has won five Grammy Awards and has sold more comedy recordings than anyone else in history. He lives with his family in Southern California.

Wes Hargis wanted to be a professional dirt miner when he grew up. Unstable market prices for dirt led him to pursue his second love, and he has been an illustrator for more than fifteen years. Mr. Hargis lives with his family (and his dirt) in Arizona.
