The Dreamer by Il Sung Na

Another lovely book to read at the beginning of a new year.  While this book encourages readers to dream, dream big, and take action it also realizes that sometimes we like to do what started the journey of dreaming big.  Dreamer by Il Sung Na is a charming story of a pig who loved birds.  He loved sitting and watching the birds.  He wanted to join them and takes some steps to make that happen.  He learns and gathers and builds.  He shows the reader what it takes to preserve.  He has to make modifications and get help from others.  His dream becomes a reality and at the same time he still enjoys watching the birds.  As we think about setting goals and changing, I think it's important to acknowledge we don't need to change everything and there are many good things about each of us.
