I purchased several of these books as high school graduation gifts based on recommendations. I felt the illustrations and text was far too childlike to give to a high school graduate and therefore ending up returning them all.

The content of this book is wonderful for anyone looking to buy meaningful books for young people, but the fact that every 2 pages are illustrated by a different artist…what genius! The art work is varied, fascinating and so appropriate…and just darn beautiful! I can’t recommend this enough as a gift for a special young person in your life. What better concepts to pass on to our children can there be, but to dream big, live well, be kind and connected to this big world around us? I can’t think of any.

I give this beautiful book all the time as gifts for grads of all ages, including high school and university. It’s a multilayered book, and a thoughtful reader will discover more each time they open its pages. The illustrations and text in “Dream” have a simple level for younger readers, but teens and adults will see other layers through the symbolism and metaphor that speak to the heart and spirit. Two pages at the rear of the book discuss many of the layers of meaning. This is an amazing book and I highly recommend it as a gift for occasions like a birth, birthday, or grad.

This book made excellent graduation gifts for several high school graduates this year. It helped me convey my greatest wish for each of the recipients–to keep dreaming. I also use the book in my classroom and use many of the activities at the related website to help my students learn more about dreaming and then taking the steps to make those dreams come true. http://www.legacyproject.org/
The book contains one of my favorite poems-Dreams by Langston Hughes. The whimsical illustrations highlight the wonderful message this book conveys. I would highly recommend this book.
