Flavia and the Dream Maker

I purchased this book in the late 90's for my two small children. From the first time I read it I fell in love with it. As my children grew (they are both in highschool today) I gave away most of their children's books. This is one of the few that I've kept.

This is the book that made me believe in everything that is good in life. As a child it gave me the confidence to be me no matter what anyone else thought and I keep that with me to this day. It is the ideal book for anyone, regardless of their age, who wants to believe that hope is alive and that the world can be made a better place by those who dare to dream.

I recieved this book when it was first released. I was sad when it was no longer published. It brings great joy to my heart to know that this book has been brought back to life. I have read this book to people young and old. I have been inspired by this story. I hold it dear to my heart and celebrate when I can share it with others. I am within one semester from becoming an elementary teacher and I look forward to sharing this book with my students. This book is worth keeping and reading over and over again. May this story touch your soul and inspire your heart just as it did mine.

I purchased this book many years ago. I found it accidentally while in the children's book section with my children. I fell in love with it page by page. I have shared my one copy (I was unable to obtain any others) with Teachers, parents, and mental health professionals who in turn have been eager to have copies of their own to share with others. I am so happy to hear of it being re-published. The story has so much to tell and gives so much more than just reading material. It fills your heart with warmth and your eyes with tears.

One of the best children's stories I have read in a long time. The images are wonderful and fun. The values in the story are not to be missed. You and your child both will enjoy this book.
