An expression of the dreams we have for our children as they start to explore their independence.
I dream for you, my little one...
What do you dream for your child? Do you dream for them to persevere?
To soar to great heights? To live with purpose?
In I Dream for You – David Wax and Brett Blumenthal express the dreams that we have for our children as they start to explore their independence. As a follow up to their first book – I Wish for You – David and Brett continue to use their unique prose and illustrations to express our dreams through the eyes of nature. From persevering polar bears and exploring humpback whales to creative beavers and purposeful bumblebees, the emotive and touching text shows readers how much we can learn by studying the beauty that surrounds us each day.
I Dream for You celebrates the wild, as well as our children’s growth and independence – a classic keepsake and gift for the next generation.
