Dream Big's Educational Elements
Dual Language
All of our books tell the story and activities in both English and Spanish. We also print in other languages when appropriate. This expands our reach to ESL readers, while having both languages can serve as a tool to learn new words.
Activity Pages
The left page of every spread is a Black and White Activity Page that allows kids to interact with the story as well as color the drawing. We also have questions related to the story or life lessons that use the story as teaching moments for the readers. We also have additional activity pages, like asking kids to create their own Celebration Dance.
We Help Kids Tell Their Story
We give kids a space to write their own story, telling us their dreams, helping them express themselves and opening their mind to other career opportunities. This also shares their dreams with parents, teachers and other figures in their life.
Each Story Includes A...

Printed Book
An 30-page book telling the story of the subject overcoming the obstacles they have faced in life to get to where they are today. We focus on what they were like as kids, what obstacles they overcame growing up and what their profession is, to inspire the next generation. Each fully funded book includes 1,500 copies with at least half being donated to underserved communities.
