Dream Big is excited to launch our Adopt A Survivor's Story Program! Where Upstanders can join a Dream Big Creation Lab to bring a survivor's story to life and become published authors!
 
Incubated with support from the Houston Jewish Community Foundation, this program lets people become Upstanders by bringing a Holocaust Survivor's Story to Life through Dream Big's groundbreaking platform. Options include a single Cover Story that will be included in group books or a full Dream Big Story on a single survivor. This program comes on the heels of our story on Ruth Steinfeld and is funded in part by a grant honoring Ralph and Lorraine Goldstaub.  Dream Big Books CEO, Josh Merwin says, “We are excited to use these stories for inspiration as well as a tool to fight hate and antisemitism.”

What is a Creative Lab?
The Creative Lab is an interactive experience where families work side-by-side to shape the educational content of the book. It’s a space for connection, creativity, and contribution—giving children and their families the opportunity to be part of something meaningful and lasting.
By participating, your family will not only become published contributors, but your involvement will help bring the book to life for other families. Every book purchased or sponsored supports our 1:1 
 
Matching Program, which donates a copy to a disadvantaged kids in the Houston Community.
Can’t make the lab?
You can still be part of this impactful project by pre-ordering the book, which will be released after 500 copies are pre-ordered!

Sponsorships directly support this powerful event and our book donation program. Sponsors will have their logo featured in the book and be recognized as champions of literacy, creativity, and community engagement.
