The Lantern Library
Children's Books
Stories that inspire children to dream, believe, and become all they were created to be.
Stories That Inspire the Dreamer in Every Child
Every great journey begins with a story.
At America's Dream Campaign, we believe stories have the power to shape a child's future. The books in our Lantern Library are written to encourage hope, perseverance, kindness, faith, courage, and the belief that every child has a purpose worth pursuing.
Whether you are a parent, grandparent, teacher, pastor, or mentor, our hope is that these stories will help you become a Dream Builder in the life of a child.
Featured Book
Dreaming Is Seeing
By Mike & Toni Gonzalez
A heartwarming story that reminds children—and the adults who love them—that today's dreams can become tomorrow's reality through hope, perseverance, faith, and encouragement.
What You'll Discover
Little Iris lives in a humble cottage where she dreams of becoming an author someday. Although her journey is filled with challenges, she learns that dreams are not merely wishes—they are pictures of what can become when they are nurtured with faith, perseverance, and encouragement.
Her story gently reminds every child that no dream is too small, no beginning is too humble, and no obstacle is too great when hope continues to light the way.
The Journey of a Dream
Why We Wrote This Book
When we began writing Dreaming Is Seeing, our desire was much greater than publishing a children's book.
We wanted to help children believe that their dreams matter.
Throughout our lives we have seen how one encouraging word, one caring teacher, one faithful parent, or one loving grandparent can change the direction of a child's future.
That belief became the foundation of America's Dream Campaign. Our hope is that every child who reads this story will discover that dreams are gifts worth protecting—and that every adult who shares it will become a Dream Builder for the next generation.
