This Isn't A Book (It's A Hug In Disguise)

The words in this adorable all-ages picture book are here to awaken the dreamer in all of us. They are reminders of the magical way dreams create opportunities, stretch horizons, and give us a glimpse into our vast potential.

A follow-up to the bestsellers Finding Muchness and Feeling Grateful, this third addition to the beloved book series offers timeless nuggets of wisdom about risking failure to chase all we hope for. Featuring sweet, meticulous illustrations of an adventurous raccoon, with cameos from the bear cub and duckling duo from the companion books, each page is filled with beautiful reminders of the wonderful places our dreams can take us:

“Your dreams are counting on you. Your future is asking you to believe, to be brave, to make it happen. The most important part of realizing a dream will always be the dreamer.”

“Don’t wait until you’ve achieved your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud every step along the way.”

“When you open your heart to a dream, love, hope, and excitement rush in.”
