This book is about a young girl who dreams big. She dreamed about doing a variety of things, and as she grew up she learned that with hard work she can turn her dreams into reality. This story is very inspirational and encouraging. It’s a great example of why you should dream big and pursue it.

I picked this book because of the title,I could tell this book was going to be inspiring. I think it is very important for children to know that if they work hard and set their mind to it you can achieve anything. This story warmed my heart because I knew in kindergarten that I wanted to become a teacher, and now I am actually turning my childhood dream into my reality. I’m glad I read this book because it encouraged me to keep going.

I would use this book for kindergarten and 1st grade. I think it would be fun for them to draw out some of the things they would like to be when they grow up. I think it will also encourage them to not be afraid of dreaming big and that they can make their wildest dreams come true.

I love this book; dreams are the key to life. The character Faith dreamed about. Lesson learned, you can and I can too.

Good read!

Very inspirational and a good read for little ones to encourage them that they can accomplish any dream they put their mind to. As well as to think beyond the box someone may try to place you in.
