QUOTES: "A very touching story that is perfect for young readers. The illustrations remind me of beautiful watercolor paintings. And I love stone paper, water resistant, tear resistant! The perfect book for a classroom library, the perfect story for a read aloud discussion with younger grades." - Amazon Vine Reviews "I'm so glad Emmanuel's story is in a children's book. It touches on his past being abandoned in Iraq without telling it in a scary way but illustrating it enough for kids to understand it. His full journey is amazing and you'll become a fan, if you're not already, after reading this. It's a great story for kids." - Amazon Vine Reviews "Dream Big is a remarkable true story of Emmanuel and his brother Ahmed with adorable illustrations. I am humbled to know these two fine men and thought this cute book did a great job portraying their story. I recommend all to follow them on social media to continue to be inspired to Dream Big!" - Amazon Vine Reviews // This book, filled with simple but compelling, watercolor, illustrations, introduces children to differently-abled people. It also tells a story of hope - that even when met with seemingly insurmountable challenges, dream big! Your life is not defined by your present circumstances. And ultimately, the lesson that love conquers all shines through. I think it is a marvelous book and suitable for even very young children to be read to by their parents or teachers. -Amazon Vine Reviews
