Book Review: When You Have A Dream

There’s only one way to kick off this site properly, and that’s by reviewing one of the classic pieces of literature of our generation. When You Have A Dream, written by Luke Cureton and illustrated by Samiullah Sahito, might be labeled a children’s book, but don’t let that stop you. Your inner child just might thank you.

Whether you have young children or just want to support a young author in his debut, Dream is worth the read. For starters, the artwork is fantastic, vibrant, and begs you to open up your imagination. The nameless protagonist is all of us. Young at heart, and unafraid to dream big.

Many of the things we see our Hero doing are classic things we dream of as kids. Being an astronaut, scoring the winning goal, painting magnificent works of art – all things we weren’t afraid dare say out loud in our youth.

Somewhere along the way in life, we tend to lose sight of those kinds of dreams. “The percentages are too low! Be realistic!” I guarantee you’ve been told this before. Maybe you’ve even told it to someone else – there’s no shame in that, no judgement here. But what would happen if those dreams never went away? Or better yet, what if we simply started dreaming again?

This is why I implore you to not gloss over this gem. There’s a child inside all of us, begging to receive permission to dream again. Here’s a chance to see the bigger picture, to wake up and dream.

When You Have A Dream is available online at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
