Every child wonders, “What will I be when I grow up?” In Dreams to Grow On, we follow an imaginative young girl as she explores exciting possibilities for her future.

A teacher? Or a doctor? Or a writer?
Let me see. . .
Today I’ll practice all the things
I just might want to be.

A rich blend of Christine Hurley Deriso’s lyrical verse and Matthew Archambault’s vibrant oil paintings, this story encourages young people to let their imaginations soar. Readers of all ages will be inspired to “try on” new dreams of their own.

Each of our inspirational, award-winning children’s books has been selected from among the many hundreds of submissions we receive each year. We then find the perfect artist, whose vision and talent are unleashed to create a brilliantly illustrated, award-winning children’s picture book. Dreams to Grown On won the Independent Publishers Book Award for Most Inspirational to Youth.
