Ready to Dream

With the power of creativity comes the ability to dream big . . .

Ally and her mother are visiting Australia for the summer, and she can't wait to start drawing all the new animals that she'll see. But when Ally meets Pauline, an Aboriginal woman who's also an artist, she learns that art isn't always created with just paper and paints, and that mistakes are actually happy accidents. Donna Jo Napoli and her daughter were inspired to write this story after spending many summers in Australia, and Aboriginal artist Bronwyn Bancroft's dynamic illustrations bring to life this inspiring story about creativity and imagination.
