An Awesome Book by Dallas Clayton –ESSENTIAL


Clayton, Dallas An Awesome Book 64 pgs. HarperCollins, 2012. $11.55.  (Rating: G).

This book is one big lyrical poem about the nature of dreams, fully illustrated with unique and stylized artwork.

I was inspired and amazed by this short yet stunning poem. It urges kids to dream big dreams, to never give up on their dreams, and to share their dreams with others. The artwork is perfect compliment. Students will love the tongue twisting rhyme, and the intricate, interesting, and eye-catching illustrations. One of my new very favorite books of all time!!

Thanks for recommending this! I just had our public library order a copy, and it's really cute! The librarian who checked it out to us read it first and liked it as well.
