DECEMBER 17, 2004 / Legacy Project / -- The Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award has been added to the growing list of awards received by the new bestseller Dream: A Tale of Wonder, Wisdom & Wishes by
Susan V. Bosak. The book has already been chosen by the American Booksellers Association as one of the year's top picks, and has received an iParenting Award and a Teachers' Choice for the Family Award.

Dream is the result of five years of work. Fifteen of the top illustrators in the world each offer 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.

"What a beautiful book!" says Parent to Parent President Jodie Lynn. "I get more than 20 books a day -- every day. I must say I was wonderfully surprised by this incredible book. It's unlike anything else I've seen come across my desk. It's not just a book -- it's an opportunity to be inspired, to learn, and to grow."

Parent to Parent has been awarding family-friendly websites with the Adding Wisdom Award since 1998. Among those touted in the prestigious and exclusive winner's circle are sites from Disney and PBS. The award has now been expanded to books and other products.

Parents across the country recognize the Adding Wisdom Award as highlighting only the highest quality products and resources. Books must pass through a rigorous set of criteria and review by a judging panel that includes licensed experts, childcare facilities, educators, and parents as well as children.

"The award recognizes books that do add wisdom, making a positive difference for families," says Lynn. "I would highly recommend Dream for parents and grandparents to share with children, and for adults looking for a meaningful gift for anyone they care about."

Dream by Susan V. Bosak, an author and educator who also serves as Legacy Project Chair, is available in bookstores. Proceeds from the book help support the Legacy Project. For more information, visit www.legacyproject.org or call 1-800-772-7765.
