PARENTS SIMPLICITY CREDO Reading Suggestions
Dreaming big dreams is also another developmental milestone for children, and it's okay for the dreams to change from time to time. But the foundation of life-long dreams are those childhood passions that last - and when these interests are taboo there is a problem! Drum Dream Girl is a wonderful read aloud; take your time to share the illustrations and to talk about the big questions your kiddo may have about why the girl's dream was not okay for a very long time. Our differences are necessary and admirable, but they shouldn't be used to keep anyone from accomplishing their dreams or goals!
