dream big

Sophie is a hippo who is good at lots of things. She plays the drums in a band, sews her own clothes and loves to bake. But what she really wants to do is fly through the air on skate board. Most of her friends thinks that she day dream too much. Sophie finds a unique way to really make her dream come true! A few of the pages are printed from top to bottom instead of right to left. This interrupted the flow of the read aloud session. The theme of the book seemed to be dream big and to reach for those dreams no matter what!

At last, a skateboarding hippo hero!

Ruth Jeyaveeran has created a book that will appeal to any kid or adult who has ever wanted to try something bigger and bolder than what they're currently doing (in other words, pretty much everyone). As in her first book, The Road To Mumbai, the combination of lovely illustrations with a heartfelt story makes the tale come to life in a wonderful way.

another fantastic journey!

Ruth Jeyaveeran's gorgeous illustrations and enticing stories never fail to please! Her second book is just as delightful as her first, The Road to Mumbai.
