Dream Big for Kids invites readers on a journey of discovering what it means to dream big. From writing songs to climbing mountains to fighting sickness as a doctor or scientist, dreams don't look the same for everyone. And they don't become "big dreams" because they're loud or popular. Dreams grow from the creative spirit and individual spark God put in each of us to make a difference, to build something new, and to help the world.Showcasing whimsical and inspirational art, this picture book is for ages 4 to 8; is a great gift for baby showers, birthdays, Christmas, baptisms, graduations, and other milestones; and is the perfect message for Bob Goff fans of all ages.
