Inside the book

Inside Dream Big and Be Yourself

For kids who are growing up and finding their courage, and for the grown-ups who read with them.

Dream Big and Be Yourself by Nadia Ross: a boy in an aviator cap holds up a toy airplane.

For a wonderful, one-of-a-kind boy

Every boy has dreams worth chasing. These stories show him how to believe in himself and be exactly who he is.

Dream Big and Be Yourself open at Payton Likes to Paint and Jaxon Builds Confidence, in color, next to the cover.

Dreams worth chasing

Payton loves to paint. Jaxon sets his mind on a goal. Payton’s chapter starts with a question: “What is one thing you like to do more than anything else?”

The boys of Dream Big and Be Yourself in color: Michael dancing, Darren with his arms crossed, Liam in a blue beanie and Sheldon with a tablet.
School, family, friends and sports: ten real-life stories

Ten boys, ten real-life stories

A hockey team, a new friend, a dream about the stars: every story stars a boy living moments kids know, at school, at home, with friends and in sports.

Dream Big and Be Yourself will help boys believe in themselves and overcome difficulties: four boys from the stories, one in a dinosaur costume and one with a can of paint.
A narrator who helps them reflect, story by story

Believe in yourself

Each chapter talks to him first, then the story shares its message: believe in yourself, keep going when things get hard, and be exactly who you are.

Dream Big and Be Yourself open at Michael Gets a Team and Sheldon Dreams About Stars, in color.

Nothing is impossible

Michael has a dream that seems out of reach. Sheldon looks up at the stars. Michael’s chapter asks: “Do you have a dream that seems impossible?”

The perfect gift for boys to build confidence and self-esteem: a smiling boy with his arms crossed.
A gift that builds confidence

The perfect gift

For a birthday, a new school year or bedtime: a book that reminds him how special he is.

Why boys love it

  • Louder than his doubts

    The boys doubt their abilities and almost give up, then, with family and friends beside them, find the confidence to keep going.

  • Proud to be himself

    Every story celebrates being himself and taking pride in what he does, on his own path to his dreams.

  • A voice that talks to him

    At the start and end of every story, the narrator speaks to him directly, so he thinks about what it means in his own life.

  • Read aloud or on his own

    Stories he can read on his own or you can read together: perfect at bedtime and as a first step into reading.

An ideal gift for boys in elementary school, from parents, grandparents or teachers.
