[A sample of pages from 'An Awesome Book' by Dallas Clayton]

There are some things that just capture your imagination and warm the cockles at the same time. ‘An Awesome Book’ is one of them. Last year, ‘writer, illustrator and creator of all things good’, Dallas Clayton wrote a book for his son. He wanted to encourage him to dream, big, crazy, fantastical dreams. He had it printed himself and then suddenly everyone wanted one, and we know why. It’s a simple, beautifully illustrated book with a simple, beautiful message that every child (even big kids) should hear. That we should never stop dreaming great, big, fantastical dreams.

In Australia, copies are available from the Wish to Walk foundation, but peeps everywhere can purchase them from the store on his website. Dallas has also just formed the Awesome World Foundation which, for every book sold, donates a copy of the book to children who might not otherwise be able to get one.
