"When you dream big, anything can happen..."
"When you dream big, anything can happen..."
Small lived in a small house.
She had a small room
with a small window
and at night
she slept in a small bed
with a too small blanket.
Despite being small,
Small had BIG dreams.
In Small’s world, everything is small – her shoes, her bed, everything. But her dreams are big. And Small discovers that when you dream big, anything – and everything – can happen.
Small’s Big Dream is the first picture book from Manjeet Mann, with artwork by exciting debut illustrator Amanda Quartey. Manjeet Mann is the author of the Costa Children’s Book Award winning The Crossing (used in Read Woke South Ayrshire Secondaries) and critically acclaimed and Carnegie-shortlisted Run, Rebel.
This book is perfect for P1-3 but can be explored with all year groups.
