Big Dreams & Growing Voices

It is hard to find children’s books that show difference
without turning the story into a lesson.

Big Dreams & Growing Voices does something softer.

This lyrical picture book celebrates diversity, inclusion and the beauty of being yourself. Through gentle rhythm and vibrant illustrations, it invites children to dream boldly, speak proudly and understand that their voice, in all its forms, matters.

This story quietly reminds children that there is no single way to grow, learn, play, communicate or be heard. Every child’s journey is different, and every journey is worthy of celebration.

Written with warmth and intention, Big Dreams & Growing Voices nurtures confidence, empathy and connection, while creating space for children to see themselves reflected on the page, just as they are.

Because every dream deserves to be seen.
And every voice deserves to be heard.

Perfect for You If…
You’re supporting a child aged 2–5 years who:

✅

Isn’t yet saying all the speech sounds expected for their age

Is showing early or emerging preverbal communication skills, such as:

Watching your face during interactions
Making sounds or gestures to get your attention
Reaching, pointing, giving, or showing objects
Starting to imitate sounds, actions, or facial expressions
Taking part in shared play or moments of joint attention

You’re on a waitlist for speech therapy, in-between sessions, or wanting to do more at home to support your child’s communication journey in a fun, pressure-free way.

You want to create joyful, sound-rich moments at home, using play, movement, and character-based learning — not flashcards or drill.

You’re a parent, career, early childhood educator, or speech pathologist who values connection, imagination, and engagement as the foundation for speech and language development.
