Dream on

By Shannon Hale

When Cassie gets a letter that says she's won a huge prize, she thinks it's the answer to all her problems. She could get another car so her big family doesn't have to take two trips to go places. Or new furniture to replace their shabby old sofa. Or maybe she could make Vali her best friend forever by taking her on a fabulous vacation. But what happens if Cassie wins nothing at all?

She won't let her worries stop her, though. Anything is possible if Cassie can dream on

With bright and charming illustrations by Marcela Cespedes and coloring by Lark Pien, Dream On is a joyful story of imagination, big dreams, and wonder.

This gentle, accessible story includes SEL themes about empathy, kindness, compassion, and forgiveness. It also features children experiencing high sensitivity, big emotions, and feelings of sadness, making it a helpful tool to spark conversations and connections with young readers.
