Have you ever wondered how that first Caterpillar achieved the impossible dream of soaring with wings through the sky? Or how that first Tadpole hopped up on the bank of a stream to sing?

DREAM BIG takes readers back to the wilds of East Africa, where life began. Inspired by Joseph Campbell’s book, A Hero With A Thousand Faces, the books shows how each animal goes on their own heroic quest to achieve their dream. Along the way, they meet a moody Baboon who doesn’t believe dreams can come true. But when Baboon sees Caterpillar turn into a winged Butterfly, Tadpole into dancing Frog, he figures out A Powerful Secret—SHHH—that exists between the stars and the animals once they truly believe in themselves and their dreams. You can enjoy The—SHHH—Secret too once you read the book!

Hint:  To figure out Their Secret as you read, watch for CATCH-M, the name they give their big SMILE that invites their wished- upon star to “WHOOSH” down from the heavens and “WHAM” light the gift of stars within their heart!

In the wilds of East Africa, generations have passed since Butterfly achieved her dream. Life has gotten more complicated because there was not enough food. The animals were hungry, mean, and no longer believed in themselves or their dreams. The first Secret—SHHH—their ancestors used only worked for a few. So when Baboon noticed Rhinoceros, Hare, and Lion help each other, he figured out another powerful Secret—SHHH—that exists between the animals and the stardust that surrounds them. As a result, Baboon uses this Secret to help a new, unlikely hero save the savannah.

Hint: To figure out The New—SHHH—Secret as you read, watch for CATCH-M again. This time in their big shared SMILES that invite the stardust that surrounds them to “WHOOSH” into their lives and “WHAM” light the gift of stars in their heart!

In the third installment of her Live Big Series, best-selling, award-winning author Kat Kronenberg takes readers back to the wilds of East Africa, where life gets even more complicated. The animals still struggle to find food, but now they face life-threatening situations where they must fight to survive. 

But when our beloved moody Baboon challenges Kudu on what to do, everything begins to change. One by one, Kudu, Giraffe, and Bee must face the dilemma of who they want to be. After seeing their good choices, Baboon figures out another powerful secret—SHHH—that exists between the animals and the stardust that lives within them. But the danger continues to mount. Luckily, some amazing animals and Baobab Tree try Baboon’s new—SHHH—secret. Will their collective courage help them survive, even thrive together where dreams can still come true?

Hint: To figure out The Last Known Secret as you read, watch for CATCH-M again. This time as their big internal SMILE that invites the wondrous stardust already within them to “WHOOSH” through their body and “WHAM” light the gift of stars in their heart!
