DREAM

A Tale of Wonder, Wisdom & Wishes

This special offer is for schools, PTAs and PTO groups, and graduation committees. For a limited time, we're offering a special discount on the award-winning bestseller Dream as a gift for your graduating class of students.

To mark the graduation milestone, you want a memorable, distinctive gift that will mean something as the years pass. Some graduates receive two or three copies of the Dr. Seuss standard Oh, The Places You'll Go. Dream is a perfect new alternative from elementary to high school to university and college. CM Review describes Dream as "a book you can pin a dream on! A worthy rival to Dr. Seuss's Oh, the Places You'll Go! as a favorite milestone gift book."

Dream has won 11 national awards, including the Pinnacle Award as Best Gift Book. It's evocatively illustrated by 15 top illustrators from around the world.

Says The Bloomsbury Review, "This elegant book depicts the journey of life – from infancy to older adulthood – highlighting all the hopes and dreams found along the way... Inspirational quotes from people such as Martin Luther King Jr, Sir Edmund Hillary, and Emily Dickinson are set alongside gorgeous illustrations by internationally acclaimed artists. Richly crafted and thoughtfully written, Dream is a dazzling project that challenges us to find a dream and follow it."

Schools across the country are using Dream. Says one high school in Virginia, "Our Gradfest was a huge success! The Dream book was a big hit as a gift for the graduating senior class. We decorated from the book and it was wonderful. Thanks so much! We plan to use the book and theme again next year."

Here's how you can use Dream to create the graduation memories that will last a lifetime:

Gift Book: Use Dream as a gift book for your entire graduating class. Order a minimum of 20 copies for only
$10 each. Larger quantities may qualify for an additional discount.

Inscription: Your principal and teachers can sign the book's endpapers with a short message. Depending when you order, we may even be able to supply books autographed by author Susan V. Bosak!

Share It: As graduation day approaches, read Dream with the group. It has a timeless message about living and dreaming. Each illustrator has also hidden a star in their illustration, so the book is evocative in encouraging students to hunt for the stars and make a new wish with each one they find! This is a fun, whimsical way to encourage graduates to share their hopes and goals for the life ahead of them.

Write It: Once schools introduce students to Dream, students are often inspired to do their own writing. Springboarding from the book, they can write about a person (staff or student) or an experience at the school that has inspired or encouraged them to reach for their dreams.

Ceremony: Many schools read Dream aloud during their graduation ceremony. Your principal or a teacher can read the story – it takes about 10 minutes – or selected students can each take a turn reading a page. The Dream CD allows you to project the illustrations at the front to create a special multimedia experience for students and their families.

Dream Stars: Have students write their dreams and goals for their future on large, colorful Dream Stars. Use the stars as decorations for your graduation ceremony (parents love reading the dreams of their children!). Then, save the stars for a future class reunion. Dream posters are also available as decorations for a graduation ceremony.
