Daniel's Dream. This item is unavailable.Daniel's Dream

Little Daniel has big dreams. In a world where everyone else seems to follow the rules, he can't help but follow his heart. Sometimes, that means Daniel is too loud, too busy, and too excited. Sometimes, he doesn't feel like he belongs. While the other students in class are happy to color inside the lines, Daniel can't even keep his crayon on the paper.

Written by renowned Michelin-star chef Daniel Humm and New York Times bestseller
Roda Ahmed, this affirming and magical story reminds us that when it comes to dreams, "too much" is the perfect amount. Inspired by Humm's own childhood, Daniel's Dream invites children to be boldly themselves--even when others may not understand.

Bursting with creativity and color, Daniel's Dream shows kids (and parents) that sometimes, it's not the dream that's too big--it's the paper that's too small.
