How my story begins

First, let me introduce myself.

My book opens right here on my front porch. I tell you all about me and all the fun I have with my friends. Then I head to the park to swing.

And that is the exact moment my ordinary day turns into an extraordinary adventure.

Peek inside

A few places my imagination takes me

How do I get there? That's my secret. You'll have to open the book to find out.

Lisa figure skating in a sparkly pink dress while a crowd cheers — Twirl!

Lisa with a stethoscope, sitting beside a smiling doctor — Say ahh!

Lisa leading a meeting at the head of a boardroom table — Big meeting!

Every page is another "You see this… but I see THIS!" Kids catch the rhythm fast and shout it right along with you.

Here's my book!

Ordinary Days, Extraordinary Adventures

My days look a lot like yours: the park, the backyard, the kitchen table. Until you see them through my eyes.

Lisa Dreams Big invites little readers into a world where a swing becomes a rocket ship, an ordinary afternoon becomes an extraordinary adventure, and a kid with a dream can grow up to be anything she can imagine.

Every page gives kids permission to imagine bigger.

For the grown-ups

One book, three good reasons to open it

Lisa's story is short enough for a sleepy reader and rich enough to start a real conversation about who a child might become.

At bedtime

A joyful read-aloud with a rhythm kids love to finish for you. The last page hands you the best question of the night.

As a gift

For birthdays, preschool and kindergarten milestones, and any moment a child needs to hear, "You can dream big too."

In the classroom

The repeating pattern is built for interactive storytime. It pairs naturally with community helpers lessons and "all about me" units.

"What do YOU dream about?"
