Independent Publisher Review

Winner of 11 awards – including the Pinnacle Award as Best Gift Book, a Children's Choice, a Teachers' Choice, and an American Booksellers Book Sense Pick as one of the top books of the year!

Dream is a one-of-a-kind classic. Bestselling author Susan V. Bosak teamed with fifteen of the top illustrators in the world – including Hans Christian Andersen Medal winner Robert Ingpen and two-time Caldecott Medal winners Leo and Diane Dillon.

Each illustrator offers a gorgeously illustrated page in a beautifully told poetic story about life's hopes and dreams from childhood to adulthood, inspiring both children and adults.

From the smallest personal beginnings to the largest human triumphs, why are we here if not to dream? As you open the magical Dream Chest, you're whisked away on a colorful journey of a lifetime. Whoosh through the teddy bears and castles of childhood. Whoosh again into the labyrinths and mountains of adolescence and adulthood.

You can also hunt in each illustration for a hidden star – and make a wish with each one you find!

Richly detailed contemporary art from top illustrators, thought-provoking quotations, and a multilayered story combine to convey a simple yet powerful message: you're never too young or too old to dream. The young will discover all the possibilities within themselves and adults will be reminded that their best can be just ahead.

Dream is a book to explore and discuss with children, a keepsake and collector's item, and a lovely gift book for a birth, birthday, graduation (from kindergarten to college!), or other life milestone. Dream offers wonder, wisdom, and good wishes – for everyone who dreams.

"Surpasses the definition of a 'children's book'... A life-affirming, soul-satisfying story that speaks to all ages."

A gift of love to share with your child, grandchild, mother, or grandmother –
a popular Mother's Day gift!

"I want to give you a little something..."
Every time a young girl visits her grandmother, the visit ends with the grandmother's familiar words. Then she gives her granddaughter a small keepsake. As the years pass, the grown granddaughter comes to understand the significance of all the things she has received from her grandmother. It becomes clear that one gift is most precious of all, the gift of love.

A Little Something is about love and legacies across generations. One reviewer described the story as having "the emotion of Love You Forever and the charm of a Norman Rockwell painting."

This heartwarming story is beautifully complemented by the richly-detailed, golden watercolor illustrations of award-winning artist Laurie McGaw.

When author Susan V. Bosak does book signings, people buy STACKS of this bestseller to give as gifts to family and friends. The record for a one-time purchase by a single person is held by a woman in San Antonio, TX. She bought 15 copies – to give to all her young grandchildren, her grown children, a great aunt, and some of her friends who were mothers and grandmothers. "This book says what's in my heart," the woman told Susan.

Available in this elegant new gift edition, A Little Something is about the little things that matter most and make the memories that endure – a smile, a hug, a simple touch of the hand. It moves you each and every time you read it, and leaves you with a smile.
