So many plans. So many schemes.
So many hopes. So many dreams.
With hearts ablaze and stars aligned,
Life’s great adventure’s ours to find.
What do you want to be when you grow up? How about a jet pilot soaring through the clouds? Maybe you’d like to be a vet and care for animals in need? Perhaps you’ll score the winning goal in a cup final, or make a scientific discovery that changes the world. With each turn of the page, this book celebrates the beauty of dreams, the joy of curiosity, and all the excitement that the big wide world has to offer. But most of all, it’s a reminder that, whatever happens, the journey is just as important as the destination.
Perfect for dreamers, explorers, and big imaginations everywhere.
