Dreams for our Daughters
Age 2+
Picture Books Personal & Social Issues: Self-Awareness & Self-Esteem
A star-scattered night, a brand new baby girl, and all the potential in the world… This is a poetic introduction to what it means to grow up as a girl in the challenging times we live in, and all of the dazzling possibilities the world has to offer. The poignant message at the heart of this book is that we can be whoever we want to be.
This lavishly foiled, inspiring picture book is the perfect gift for every key moment in a girl's life, from birth to graduation.

I am totally in love with this book. The text is nothing short of perfect. Encouraging and inspirational, putting into the most beautiful words what most of us dream of for our daughters. . . The artwork is by turns whimsical, adventurous and energetic. . . Each spread is just a joy to look at!
