Special Book Review
"Dare to Dream"
Roy asked his father, Nelson, what things were like when he was growing up -- Roy had wondered why some of the people in his life were successful, while others like his uncle Alvin ended up in jail.
Nelson explained how his father, Roy's Grandpa, always said to do his best, but that his brother Alvin never listened. Nelson told how Roy's Grandpa showed Nelson the people who ruined their lives by making the wrong life decisions (with drugs and alcohol). Roy told his dad that people in his school were making fun of he and his friend Jesse because they were working hard, and Roy's Grandma explained the hardships that many famous people had (ie: Ben Franklin, George Washington Carver, Helen Keller, & Abraham Lincoln). Roy's Grandma then challenged Roy to not ever give up chasing their dreams.
MyParenTime.com highly recommends this book -- all children should be taught to never give up on their dreams, and that they can do nearly anything they set their minds to. Great history lessons are included in this book too! This story is a great reminder that we should always try and do the best that we can.
