EVERYONE NEEDS A DREAM…
From the
smallest personal beginnings to the largest human triumphs, why are we here if not to dream?
Dream is a book that reveals more with each reading. The story begins at the end of the rainbow with the Dream Chest, a magical portal between "what is" and "what can be." A wise old star emerges as your guide and asks, "What's your dream?"

You're whisked away on a colorful journey of a lifetime. Whoosh through the teddy bears and castles of childhood. Whoosh again into the labyrinths and mountains of adolescence and adulthood.
There are stops along the way to meet famous people in the Club of Dreamers, and explore inventions and discoveries through history. You can also hunt in each illustration for a hidden star – and make a new wish with each one you find!
The story culminates with a life-giving Dream Tree, because "the world at its best is green... the color of Go and the color of Grow." The wise old star reminds the reader that you need "the Believe of childhood, the
Do of youth, and the Think of experience – you need all three."
The old star then encourages you to find a dream and reach for the stars: "Be a dreamer... dream a dream, your very own dream."
Richly detailed contemporary
art from top illustrators (including winners of the Caldecott Medal, Bologna Ragazzi Award, Hans Christian Andersen Medal, and Academy Award), thought-provoking quotations from historical sages, and a multilayered story combine to convey a simple yet powerful message: you're never too young or too old to dream. The young will discover all the possibilities within themselves and adults will be reminded that their best can be just ahead.
