If I Had a Little Dream

Written by Nina Laden

Illustrated by Melissa Castrillon

Celebrate the wonder of the world as seen through a child’s eyes in this delightful picture book about all the joy, love and beauty that is part of each day. It will inspire you to look around you and find the dreams that are waiting just for you. The bold colors and whimsical illustrations are a perfect match to the poetic words.

Activity: In the book the little girl names her bicycle, “wings,” because it can take her everywhere. She names her little brother, “Sky,” because he is the air she breathes and together they would fly. Challenge your children (and yourself) to look around and name something. Their bedroom, their backyard, the neighborhood, etc. I haven’t done this activity yet with my kids but once I do I will update the post.
