Touching the Sky

Dream Big, Build High

"If I stack them high enough... maybe I really can touch the sky."

Meet Matt: four years old, curls bouncing, eyes bright, and absolutely certain his block tower is going to reach the stars. When his imagination carries him all the way to the moon, he finds himself far from home and facing a fear he didn't expect. But Matt is braver than he knows. This rhyming picture book follows one little boy's journey from big dreams to even bigger courage, and back home again. I wrote it for every child who dreams a size too big for the room.
