Sure, architects, artists, engineers, and others come up with big ideas, but have you ever thought about the many people who actually “build the dream” each envisions? A rhyming text outlines the work of various dreamers whose plans for a house, a bridge, a fountain, a wind turbine, and an amusement park are made real by many other kinds of workers. “Someone works to tighten bolts, steer the crane, drive machines. Someone needs to raise the tower. Someone has to build the dream.” The repeated “build the dream” refrain adds to the appeal of a picture book in which the richly hued, detailed acrylic and colored pencil illustrations shows diverse individuals carrying out many roles. A final example focuses on the work of an author and artist. “Someone worked to set the text, run the press, load the reams. Someone had to make THIS book. Someone had to build this dream.” (Ages 4-7)
