Brandon Dreams Big

Hundreds of thousands of babies are born each day around the world, all of them unique and special to the families who love them. Some babies are born with challenges that make them special in their own way. Brandon's story started just like this!

By age 13 Brandon had survived more surgeries and physical therapy sessions than he could count, but he had a goal. He wanted to compete professionally in the Paralympics one day.  The story follows Brandons' journey, his roadmap to reach his dreams. If Brandon can reach his goals, you can too. Brandon breaks down his life's dream to smaller, more manageable goals.

Each step of the way there are worksheets to help children reflect on what they want in life, and how they will achieve this. 

The Cartoon-like characters will appeal to the young, and give the book a fun vibe.

Written by Paralympian Matt Levy.
