Happy Monday! Another week begins, and with it new opportunities, learning and chances to grow. Sometimes can also bring anticipation and anxiety.
And for children growing up during high pressure and insane times, where competition and comparison are encouraged and stress shows at early ages, this book is a gift. A necessary read and a great conversation starter.
In “When you Dream Big!” , we follow Charlie, the only child in her class that is not excited about Dream Big Week at school. She has no idea of what she wants for her future. Not having plans and specific goals are making her nervous and anxious.
But by looking inside, she discovers that as long as she follows her heart and keeps moving forward, she will find her way. And that who she is and how she navigated the world is more important that “what she will be when she grows up”.
Charlie inspires her whole class, and the young reader. To be “a confident dreamer, always moving forward.”
Another beautiful book by the wonderful
@peterhreynolds . Perfect read aloud and a tool for educators and caregivers in need to assist children with anxiety. I wish I had this book growing up!
