Description

 Dream Big, starring Olivia, is great for anyone looking for a new direction, encouragement, or for anyone starting a new chapter in life. Whether she's taming a lion or building a sandcastle as tall as a skyscraper, Olivia's boundless imagination and courageous spirit are an inspiration to all. Dream Big pairs more than 30 of Ian Falconer's illustrations with motivational musings from really big dreamers like Eleanor Roosevelt, Oscar Wilde, and Walt Disney.

The Olivia children's books are huge hits with children -- and their parents. The first book, Olivia (2000) was the event of the season in children's publishing. Two more books followed, Olivia Saves The Circus (2001) and Olivia...And The Missing Toy (2003), both repeating that success.
