Publisher Description
From America’s favorite host and media personality, Ryan Seacrest, and his sister, Meredith Seacrest Leach, comes a debut picture book that celebrates the surprising strength of a child’s wild, wonderful imagination and how it can change the whole world.
You might think dreams only exist at night,
when the moon is glowing, and your eyes are shut tight.
But what if I told you there’s another kind of dreaming?
All you have to do is make believe.
Because you can be a Make-Believer!
Encourage little ones everywhere to imagine big, to dream far, and to always follow their hearts with this delightful book about the transformative power of play.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sibling creators Seacrest and Seacrest Leach spotlight daydreaming in this fantasy-forward double author debut. Savvy opening lines enthusiastically instruct on how to be a "make-believer" ("Start by daydreaming about your favorite things"). Affirming text further conveys a sense of limitlessness, suggesting ways to envision new people, places, and experiences, and hinting that some visualizations can "start looking less like dreams and more like something truly real." Lui liberally scatters repeating shapes (petals, stars) across luminous, soft-edged vistas that call attention to children's extraordinary capacity for individual and collective imagination, accentuating the connection and magic that arises from make-believe. Human characters are portrayed with various abilities and skin tones. An authors' note concludes. Ages 4–8. (Oct.)
