What is I Want to Be about?

The Little Princess, having mastered her potty, decides it's time to grow up. She asks her family and friends how to do this, receiving varied advice: be nice, be clean, be clever. Each suggestion is humorously contradicted by their own actions. Confused, she realises that growing up is about deciding for herself. In the end, she declares she wants to be tall, only to find she already is.
