The book I needed as a child — written for the next generation.
Before you decide if The Little Dream That Wouldn’t Give Up is right for your child, I want to share why it exists.
I didn’t always believe my dreams were allowed.
​
As a teenager, I spent years trying to earn approval — learning how to be agreeable, quiet, and careful. By the time I reached Year 12, I loved writing and dreamed of studying a Bachelor of Arts.
​
One comment. One laugh.
And I decided that dream was embarrassing.
​
I never went to university as planned. I went back to school changed — less confident, less willing to try.
When you decide your dream doesn’t matter, it’s hard to believe that you do either.
​
Years later, watching my daughter graduate university gave me the courage to return to my own dream — and somewhere in that remembering, this book was born.

The Little Dream That Wouldn’t Give Up
This is not a book about winning, being the best, or getting it right.
​
It’s a gentle story about:
-
believing in yourself
-
holding onto dreams
-
and remembering that it’s okay to try again
Written for children — and for the adults raising them.
​
